|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 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.

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?
