|Description= | |Description=Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) have become central tools for informing long-term global and regional climate mitigation strategies. However, sound policy advice requires improved representations of complex system interactions and thorough validation of model behavior in order to increase confidence in climate policy assessments. | ||
To respond to this demand, ADVANCE has set itself the following objectives: | To respond to this demand, ADVANCE has set itself the following objectives: | ||
* Develop a new generation of IAMs for the analysis of climate change mitigation policies | |||
* Build confidence of politicians in the results of IAMs by increasing transparency | |||
* Validate models with the aim of evaluating their strengths and limitations | |||
* Improve representation of energy demand, esp. energy services, technologies, consumer behavior | |||
* Enhance representation of technological innovation, uncertainty, system integration | |||
* Evaluate impacts of mitigation policies on economic sectors in the EU and beyond | |||
* Create a platform for sharing methodologies and input data sets in the modeling community | |||
Based on improved IAMs, ADVANCE will contribute answers to the following key questions: | Based on improved IAMs, ADVANCE will contribute answers to the following key questions: | ||

| Application type: | 5. Scientific research |
| Role of IMAGE framework: | The IMAGE team will lead work package 2 on the improved representation of energy demand. In addition, IMAGE will participate in all other work packages, covering topics like: model documentation, heterogeneity, subsidies, taxes, uncertainty, technological learning, renewable integration, life cycle assessment, water energy nexus, infrastructure and policy relevance. |
| Summary: | The ADVANCE project aims to improve the representations of complex system interactions and to thoroughly validate model behavior in order to increase confidence in climate policy assessments. |
