Description of model
|
ICLIPS seeks to provide Integrated Assessment of Climate Protection Strategies to support the decision-making community. The model assesses the social and economic consequences of climate-change policies. It consists of three modules looking at climate effects, the impacts of these effects and the socio-economic outcomes. The basis for the model is the two-way linkages between society and the climate, making it an appropriate tool for assessing the economic, social and environmental impacts of response measures.
|
Particular relevance
