|Description=The FAIR model can be used to look into certain baseline developments, such as the expected damage costs of climate change. However, more often baseline developments are explored using the larger IMAGE framework, whereas the FAIR model receives this information as input for policy analysis. | |Description=The FAIR model can be used to look into certain baseline developments, such as the expected damage costs of climate change.

The policy evaluation module was used for determining the emission reductions resulting from the pledges made for 2020 ([[Den Elzen et al., 2012b]]). Here, as an example, the results for Brazil are presented (see Figure above). In 2011, Brazil provided a new, higher estimate for its business-as-usual emissions, against which its 36% to 39% reduction pledge is to be applied. The total pledge for all greenhouse gas emissions (including emissions from deforestation) lead to reductions of 20% to 24% according to the PBL/IIASA BAU emission projections. | The policy evaluation module was used for determining the emission reductions resulting from the pledges made for 2020 ([[Den Elzen et al., 2012b]]).
