FAIR country model

Calculations of the emission allowances and abatement costs at the level of 224 countries for different post-2012 regimes for future commitments. The baseline scenario of population, GDP and greenhouse gas emissions is calculated by applying the downscaling methodology of van Vuuren et al. (2007b), downscaling from the 26 IMAGE world regions towards 224 countries, on the IMAGE baseline scenarios. The methodology is based on external-input-based downscaling for population, convergence-based downscaling for GDP and emissions.
