|Description=In the United Nations climate negotiations, urgent action was called for to limit global warming to 2 °C. In order to achieve this climate goal, countries have proposed short- and long-term actions, both within the [[HasAcronym::UNFCCC]] climate negotiating process and in domestic policies. To support climate policymakers, the IMAGE model is able to quantitatively evaluate and address different kinds of policy questions. For this, the IMAGE model is mostly used in conjunction with the [[FAIR model]]. The FAIR model is a decision-support tool to analyse the costs, benefits, and climate effects of mitigation regimes, emission reduction commitments, and climate policies. | |Description=In the United Nations climate negotiations, urgent action was called for to limit global warming to 2 °C.

The FAIR model, in combination with the rest of the IMAGE framework, is able to analyse the interaction between long-term climate targets and short-term regional emission objectives. Regional emission objectives are based on effort-sharing approaches and/or national emission reduction proposals, taking into account decisions on accounting rules as agreed under the [[HasAcronym::UNFCCC]]. The calculation of mitigation costs and trade in emission allowances, together making up the net mitigation costs of a region to achieve its mitigation target, are a central part of the model. FAIR allows for an evaluation of proposed effort-sharing regimes, including differentiated timing and participation of a limited number of parties to the climate convention. Furthermore, FAIR analyses the trade-offs between costs and benefits of mitigation and adaptation policy. | The FAIR model, in combination with the rest of the IMAGE framework, is able to analyse the interaction between long-term climate targets and short-term regional emission objectives.

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?
