IAM COMPACT

The IAM COMPACT project will exploit the state-of-the-art on the use and development of Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs), to support the assessment of global climate goals, progress, and feasibility space, as well as to enable the design of the next round of effective, desirable, feasible, and robust Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and policy planning beyond 2030 for the EU, major emitters, and non-high-income countries. The project will use a diverse ensemble of national and global IAMs, other sectoral models, and insights from social and political sciences and operations research, and will integrate different bodies of knowledge to co-design the research process and enhance its policy relevance, transparency, and robustness. A key ambition of the project is inter alia to expand the modelling comfort zone to account for deep uncertainties and disruptive events or innovations. The IAM COMPACT project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme under the Grand Agreement No. 101056306.
