FAIR can work in stand-alone mode using exogenous data, but in recent applications it interacts with several IMAGE components. For instance, mitigation cost curves for the energy sector are derived from the [[Energy supply and demand|Energy Supply and Demand model TIMER]] and land-use mitigation options from [[Agriculture and land use|Agriculture and Land Use]]. Data from FAIR on marginal abatement costs and reduction efforts per sector and greenhouse gases are used as input for IMAGE to evaluate the impacts under different assumptions for climate mitigation. | FAIR can work in stand-alone mode using exogenous data, but in recent applications it interacts with several IMAGE components.

Key policy issues
- What global greenhouse gas emissions pathways would meet the well below 2 °C climate target?
- What is the effect of effort-sharing approaches on regional and national emission reduction targets and on the cost of climate policies?
- What is the effect of the NDCs on achieving the long term 2 ºC target?
- What are the trade-offs between mitigation costs, adaptation costs, and climate change damage?
