|Example=As part of the IMAGE framework, FAIR can be used to evaluate a range of policies and strategies, including:
»Long-term mitigation strategies such as emission reductions over time (Den Elzen et al., 2007; Den Elzen and Van Vuuren, 2007; Van Vliet et al., 2009; Van Vuuren et al., 2011b; 2012);

The FAIR Policy Evaluation module has been used in determining emission reductions resulting from pledges made for 2020 (Den Elzen et al., 2012c). In 2011, Brazil presented a new, higher estimate for national business-as-usual (BAU) emissions, against which a 36 to 39% reduction pledge was made. The total pledge for all greenhouse gas emissions including emissions from deforestation was a reduction of 20 to 24% compared to the PBL/IIASA BAU emission projections. This reduction is substantially lower than pledged by Brazil from national BAU projections .
