BEPIEP

BEPIEP is a fictional international policy research network used in policy analysis case studies to illustrate governance at the intersection of energy, environment, and economic planning.

It is described as having been established in the 2010s through collaboration among universities, think tanks, and non-governmental organizations. Operating as an independent non-profit with a global remit, BEPIEP is depicted as pursuing research partnerships and grant-funded projects with both public and private sector actors.

The organization’s governance is typically outlined as including a General Assembly and an Executive Secretariat, with multiple research divisions such as Energy Policy and Markets, Environmental Governance, Economic Analysis and Planning, and Technology Assessment. Membership is commonly imagined as open to academic institutions, policy institutes, and allied organizations.

Core activities attributed to BEPIEP include producing policy briefs and working papers, conducting scenario analyses, hosting conferences and workshops, and offering training programs in policy analysis and impact assessment. In policy simulations, BEPIEP is often referenced as a framework for examining cross-border environmental issues, energy transitions, and governance challenges.

Within the fictional corpus, notable outputs attributed to BEPIEP include the Global Energy Futures Scenario and the Urban Sustainability Modeling Toolkit. The designation of BEPIEP as fictional is typically noted in scholarly discussions to distinguish it from real organizations and to prevent confusion with actual policy bodies.
