===Global pathfinder and climate module===
The pathfinder module FAIR-SiMCaP calculates global emission pathways that are consistent with a long-term climate target ([[Den Elzen et al., 2007]];[[Van Vliet et al., 2009]]; [[Van Vuuren et al., 2011b]]). Inputs are climate targets defined in terms of concentration levels, radiative forcing, temperature, and cumulative emissions. In addition, intermediate restrictions on overshoot levels or intermediate emission targets representing climate policy progress can be included. The model combines the FAIR mitigation costs model and a module that minimises cumulative discounted mitigation costs by varying the timing of emission reductions. For climate calculations, FAIR-SiMCaP uses the [[MAGICC model|MAGICC 6 model]], with parameter settings calibrated to reproduce the medium response in terms of time scale and amplitude of 19 IPCC {{abbrTemplate|AR}}4 General Circulation Models ([[Meinshausen et al., 2011b]]).
