Models are powerful analytical tools that shape policy priorities, targets, and can impact international negotiations on climate change. National-scale models can, however, feature unclear and widely divergent assumptions, resulting in overly simplistic or conflicting recommendations about an uncertain future.
The Climate Futures Project is an initiative co-developed by the Centre for Policy Research and Indian Institute of Technology Delhi to foster an informed and measured use of such modelling studies by policymakers, scientists, journalists and concerned citizens. Focusing on models developing for India, we apply a common framework to assess, compare, and interpret the assumptions and results of modelling studies.
Our framework evaluates the robustness of a climate policy model using five key assessment criteria:
We also consider the implications of the climate policy model for these six policy priorities:
