abstract: This document sets out, for the first time, our priority interests for developing evidence to underpin policy development and to learn from delivering polices. It covers what we’d like to know and the work which will need to get underway in the next 3 to 5 years. The extent of our portfolio and the range of challenges we face mean that we will need to draw on a wide range of evidence covering social, technical and economic aspects. Our policies are informed by a wide evidence base: we undertake analysis, develop models, and commission external research to underpin decision making. To ensure that DECC plans, quality assures and uses the evidence effectively in decision making we have formal processes, roles and responsibilities. In particular this ensures that evidence is gathered and usedto reduce uncertainty, thereby helping ensure effective policies and reducing risk. We recognise however that uncertainties will remain, and that we will need to continually learn from policy implementation.Given the scale and complexity of the challenges, cost-effective access to an extensive, relevant and robust evidence base is crucial. Therefore, in addition to DECC-commissioned work, we will draw on existing and new evidence developed by other researchers. By setting out clearly our research interests, we hope to inform the direction of the work of institutions who seek to produce policy-relevant research and help increase the impact of independent researchers. We will continue to publish our research findings, and will make openly available more of our data and models so that they can be used by researchers and others, and new insights developed from them. By sharing our knowledge and being clear about our research interests we aim to stimulate a fruitful dialogue and collaboration to further inform our evidence base.
