Research suggests a large share of fossil fuel reserves will need to stay in the ground to keep warming below 2°C – but achieving […]
From the 23rd to the 25th of October 2013, researchers from five developing countries gathered in Rio de Janeiro, to discuss joint progress on modelling the socio-economic implications of mitigation actions for their respective countries. They were brought together by a CDKN-funded project to further research in this field. The workshop, entitled EconLab 2, was […]
From the modellers’ mouths: Feedback from Econ Lab 2 on establishing best practice in linking sectoral and economy-wide models and feeding modelling outputs into MAPS country processes.
Computer modelling programs are a useful tool to draw up scenarios which illustrate the possible outcomes of different emissions reduction actions, and give a platform to compare those outcomes.
There are a number of complex models that researchers can use to assess the socio-economic implications of mitigation actions and it is important that they choose the one that’s best suited to the specific task at hand. As noted by Prof. Rob Davies, an economist and research associate with the Human Sciences Research Council in […]
