Mapping the sensitivity of mitigation scenarios to societal choices

Societal challenges

This project aims to perform modeling studies to explore how future energy systems can evolve and to quantify the tradeoffs and interlinkages between different aspects of the global energy systems in the context of international climate change policy and sustainable development.

Technical challenges

These analyses utilise Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs), which are models of the energy, environment, and economic systems to quantify key variables of interest in these scenarios – such as emissions pathways consistent with international climate policy goals, tradeoffs of climate mitigation with land use and food security, among others.

How EOSC can help and add value

The community got access to the EGI Federated Cloud and is working to adapt their application to the cloud paradigm. An initial prototype is under preparation.
