This is a property of type Text.
A
Percentage of the population with sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation. +
Accessibility expressed as travel time. +
Actual crop and grass production on agricultural land, based on potential yield and management intensity +
Costs for adaptation measures to reduce the vulnerability of natural and human systems to actual or expected climate change effects. +
Level of adaptation to climate change , defined as the share of climate change damage avoided by adaptation. This level is be calculated by the model to minimise adaptation costs and residual damage, or set by the user. +
Total area for crop production (annual and perennial) and intensive grassland. +
Suitability of land in a grid cell for agriculture and forestry, as a function of accessibility, population density, slope and potential crop yields. +
Air pollution policies set to reach emission reduction targets, represented in the model in the form of energy carrier and sector specific emission factors. +
Harmful algal blooms in lakes caused by cyanobacteria, producing toxins harmful to humans and animals. +
Effective production of livestock commodities per animal per year. +
Number of animals per category: non-dairy cattle; dairy cattle; pigs; sheep and goats; poultry. +
Relative Mean Species Abundance of original species in lakes, rivers and wetlands. +
B
Emissions of BC, OC and NO<sub>x</sub> per year. +
The average abundance across a set of species in each area relative to their reference population, which would be populations before any humans impacts but are usually populations in the least impacted settings available +
Area of bioenergy crop production, in model setting where sustainability criteria require that the area for bioenergy crops is not included in the agricultural production area (to avoid competition between bioenergy and food). +
Total bioenergy production. +
Policies to foster the use of biofuels in transport, such as financial incentives and biofuel mandates and obligations. +
Biomes are groups of plants and animals, often referred as ecosystems. Their spatial distribution on Earth is defined by climatic and geographical conditions defined as contiguous areas with similar climatic conditions. Biomes are often referred to by climatic conditions (such as, tropical, temperate, boreal) and physiological characteristic (such as, grassland, deciduous trees, coniferous trees). +
Urban built-up area per grid cell, excluded from all biophysical modelling in IMAGE, increasing over time as a function of urban population and a country- and scenario-specific urban density curve. +
C
CLUMondo specific input. +
Emissions from CO and NMVOC. +
Atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentration. +
CO<sub>2</sub> emission from energy and industry. +
The amount of CO<sub>2</sub> stored in underground reservoirs by applying CO<sub>2</sub> capture technology.. +
Capital available to replace depreciated stock and expand the stock to support economic growth. +
Carbon biomass in three soil pools (litter, humus and charcoal) and two timber pools (slow decaying, and fast decaying). +
Carbon pools in leaves, stems, branches and roots). +
Carbon price on the international trading market (in USD in 2005 per tonne C-eq) calculated from aggregated regional permit demand and supply curves derived from marginal abatement costs. +
Net carbon uptake by terrestrial ecosystems and oceans. +
The costs of capturing and storing CO2, affecting the use of CCS technology. +
Change in soil properties, such as clay/sand content, organic carbon content, soil depth (topsoil/subsoil). +
he probability per 1,000 that a new-born baby will die before reaching the age five, if subject to average age-specific mortality rates. +
Prevalence of undernourishment in children. +
Climate target, defined in terms of concentration levels, radiative forcing, temperature targets, or cumulative emissions. +
Percentage of cloudiness per month; assumed constant after the historical period +
Estimates on storm surge/tide water levels for a large number of coast segments. +
Commodity price per sector, including various crop and livestock sectors.. +
Loss of private consumption due to mitigation and adaptation costs and residual damage. +
Conversion assumptions. +
Fraction of agricultural land by crop type, per grid cell. +
Water requirements for crop irrigation, calculated as daily moisture deficit during the growing season. +
Regional production per crop. +
D
The disability-adjusted life year (DALY) is a measure of overall disease burden, expressed as the number of years lost due to ill-health, disability and early death. +
Bias corrected daily precipitation, temperature and potential evaporation input. This data set is according to the monthly Precipitation and Temperature. +
Permanently deforested areas for reasons other than expansion of agricultural land (calibrated to FAO deforestation statistics). +
Demand per sector including various crop and livestock sectors. +
The demand for production of electricity, heat and hydrogen. +
The demand for the production of fossil fuels and bioenergy. +
Total demand for energy production. Sum of final energy demand and energy inputs into energy conversion processes. +
Regional demand for traditional bioenergy. +
