PARIS REINFORCE: What can our models deliver?
Date: November 2019
Short description:
The fundamental aim of PARIS REINFORCE is to enhance and improve climate policymaking. In order to do this, the consortium has access to a range of sophisticated climate-economic scientific models. A key novelty of the project is its devotion to ‘demand-driven’ research. That is, the questions these models will provide insights into and the assumptions they will do this based upon are to be stakeholder-determined through an extensive and exhaustive process.
