* For the cost module, the main uncertainties are future business-as-usual emission trends (higher emission trends imply higher costs to achieve a certain target) and MAC curves (it is very difficult to estimate the costs of reducing emissions in the far future). | * For the cost module, the main uncertainties are future business-as-usual emission trends (higher emission trends imply higher costs to achieve a certain target) and MAC curves (it is very difficult to estimate the costs of reducing emissions in the far future). | ||

* One important limitation of the climate policy module is that the costs of climate policy are not being fed back to other parts of the system. | * One important limitation of the climate policy module is that the costs of climate policy are not being fed back to other parts of the system. | ||
* Furthermore, some abatement technologies, especially in the land system, are assumed to have no effects on other parameters, such as crop yields, and although some land-based mitigation technologies (afforestation, and agricultural carbon management) are included in FAIR, they are not represented explicitly in the terrestrial vegetation system of IMAGE. | * Furthermore, some abatement technologies, especially in the land system, are assumed to have no effects on other parameters, such as crop yields, and although some land-based mitigation technologies (afforestation, and agricultural carbon management) are included in FAIR, they are not represented explicitly in the terrestrial vegetation system of IMAGE. | ||
