LIMITS (2014)

Website:	http://www.feem-project.net/limits/
Application type:	1. Global integrated assessment
Role of IMAGE framework:	IMAGE was one of the IAMs in this multi-model project.
Summary:	The FP7 research project LIMITS examined a series of critical questions which are especially relevant for climate policy making: What is the economic, technical and political feasibility of attaining stringent climate policies? How can we jump start investments and innovation into clean energy technologies? What is the role of policies in promoting mitigation and adaptation, recognizing the diversity of regional and national interests? What is the role of technologies and their advancements to meet the change in energy infrastructure? By using state-of-the-art methodological instruments to assess climate policies, LIMITS aims at carrying out a rigorous assessment of what a stringent climate policy entails, and what is needed to overcome major impediments.
