|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);

*Evaluation of current reduction proposals by countries and policy options for the next 10 to 20 years (European Commission, 2010; Den Elzen et al., 2011a; 2011b; 2012b; UNEP, 2012; Hof et al., 2013);

*Evaluation of domestic climate and energy policies for the next 10 to 20 years (Höhne et al., 2012; Roelfsema et al., 2013; 2014);

* Evaluation of trade-offs between mitigation costs, adaptation costs and the benefits of reduced climate damage (Hof et al., 2008; 2009; 2010).


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 .
