• By design, the model is aggregated to allow for global coverage and a long time horizon, while keeping run times in check. Detailed, differentiated processes at local scale and national policies are represented as part of global region trends, without taking into account country-specific measures and processes. | • By design, the model is aggregated to allow for global coverage and a long time horizon, while keeping run times in check.

• The physical orientation implies that the model is well adapted to study technical measures to achieve policy goals, but less so to study specific policies. Some policies, such as a carbon tax, can be represented but others, such as R&D policies, cannot. The model has no representation of governance systems, which tend to be handled as exogenous (variant) scenario parameters serving as proxies. | • The physical orientation implies that the model is well adapted to study technical measures to achieve policy goals, but less so to study specific policies.
