Modelling platform

NDC ASPECTS uses the I2AM PARIS modelling platform to document quantitative modelling results and insights of the project at a national, EU, and global level. The platform was developed by the Horizon 2020 PARIS REINFORCE project to support the climate-economy community and has been since then maintained and expanded by multiple Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe projects. NDC ASPECTS provides content for three components of the platform:

  • Detailed Model Documentation: A detailed, technical documentation of global, regional, and national models for climate policy (available here).
  • Dynamic Documentation: An interactive library of available models, in the form of a responsive “infographic”, including geographical coverage as well as sector, emission, policy, SDG, socio-economic and mitigation/adaptation measure granularities (available here).
  • Model Analyses: a dynamic representation of data deriving from several runs of the available models, including meaningful visualisations and user-friendly interfaces that will allow the user to examine the results of different scenarios by altering specific parameters on the interface (currently available for the global modelling results and for the sectoral modelling results of NDC ASPECTS).
