FAIR-SIMCAP model

The FAIR-SiMCaP model calculates the global emission pathway that is compatible with any arbitrary climate target, like a greenhouse gas concentration stabilisation target or long-term temperature target. The model combines the abatement costs model of FAIR and a module to explore different pathways that meet climate targets making use of an iterative procedure.
