Research Project
COMMITTED is an international project funded by the European Commission’s Directorate on Climate (DG CLIMA). The project aims to enhance sharing of good practices on greenhouse gas emissions modelling between EU and Asian countries. The Consortium comprises major global integrated assessment modelling teams as well as institutions from major Asian economies.
Research Project
EYE-CLIMA will support National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (NGHGIs), and thus the Paris Agreement, by developing independent observation-based methods for verifying emission estimates of greenhouse gases and the aerosol species, black carbon. Independent verification is much needed and is recognized by the IPCC in their 2019 refinement of the guidelines for NGHGIs.
Model
MAGICC is a reduced complexity Earth system model that has been widely used in climate science for over three decades, most notably in multiple IPCC reports. It is most often used in a probabilistic setup, providing information not only about our best-estimate of future climate change but also the uncertainty that arises from interactions between the Earth system’s many components. MAGICC is also as the climate component in multiple integrated assessment models (IAMs).
