I2AM PARIS

I²AM PARIS

Integrating Integrated Assessment Modelling in Support of the Paris Agreement

Aiming to become the vessel of the international energy- and climate-economy modelling community, I²AM PARIS is an open-access, data exchange platform hosting detailed documentation, inputs, and outputs of modelling tools and exercises for all audiences

Modelling documentation

Detailed, dynamic, and comparative documentation of quantitative systems models in support of climate policy, regarding their representation of socioeconomics, sectors, policies, mitigation/adaptation measures, and emissions, as well as their geographic coverage

Workspaces of modelling exercises

Scientific interfaces, explanatory summaries for all audiences, along with customised visualisations of results, libraries with relevant content and downloadable datasets, heatmaps explaining how different models have been harmonised and/or interlinked, and open access to model inputs and outputs

Documentation

Every available model is documented and dynamically presented.

Detailed Model Documentation

A detailed, technical documentation of global, regional, and national models for climate policy.

Model Dynamic Documentation

An interactive library of the models, in the form of a responsive infographic, with regard to their coverage, granularity, representation, and features.

Overview and Comparative Assessment

A comparative documentation of global models, models for Europe, and models for countries outside Europe that are part of the PARIS REINFORCE project ensemble.

Variable Harmonisation Heatmap

This tool creates on-demand heatmaps that indicate how different variables are handled across the different models within the PARIS REINFORCE consortium.

I²AM PARIS seeks to enable modellers to communicate with one another and stakeholders to interact with modelling assumptions, scenarios and results in an informative way and to understand which decarbonisation pathways are the most relevant and realistic, ultimately enhancing the legitimacy of the scientific processes and improving the transparency of the employed methods, models and tools.
