Agent-based modeling of climate policy: An introduction to the ENGAGE multi-level model framework
Model-based support of climate policy is scientifically challenging because climate change involves linked physical and social systems that operate on multiple levels: local, national, and international. As a result, models must employ some strongly simplifying assumptions. The most frequently used models typically assume hyper-rational and homogenous human behavior. These ensure tractability b...
متن کاملConsequences of twenty-first century policy for multi-millennial climate and sea-level change
1 There is scientific consensus that unmitigated carbon emissions will lead to global warming of at least several degrees Celsius by 2100 (ref. 1), resulting in high-impact local, regional, and global risks to human society and natural ecosystems2. Despite this consensus, international efforts to address the challenge of global climate change have been and remain limited in scope3. We suggest t...
متن کاملClimate Change and Industrial Policy
This paper explores the implications of climate change for industrial policy (IP). Five implications are discussed, namely the need for international coordination of IPs; for putting human development, and not emission targets, as the overriding objective of low-carbon IP; of stimulating innovation for energy efficiency, energy diversification, and carbon capture and storage; and for aligning I...
متن کاملUncertainty and Climate Change Policy
Uncertainty is a pervasive feature of climate change analysis. This paper explores the consequences for policymakers. Importantly, uncertainty means that every policy has a range of possible outcomes rather than a single estimate. At a minimum, this requires policymakers to decide how to compare these different outcomes and to determine the likelihood that each outcome occurs. While objective a...

layer over the South Pole in the late 1970s went undetected for years. The satellite instrumentation did not fail; rather, the computer programs written to analyze the vast volumes of satellite data were instructed to reject measurements that diverged sharply from expected normal conditions. Amazingly, the rejected values were called to no one’s attention. Noticing outliers in ground-based reco...
