contributions to climate change
- Java
Climate Model
This interactive climate model lets you explore the climate system simply
by moving controls with your mouse and observing the effect instantly on plots
ranging from greenhouse gas emissions to global impacts. The calculation methods
are based on those used in the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Third Assessment Report, implemented efficiently in the java language to work
within your web browser. The attribution module allows the instantaneous calculation
of contributions to climate change of different regions.
- Framework
to Asses International Regimes for differentiation of commitments (FAIR)
This decision-support tool was developed with the aim of assisting policy
makers in evaluating different options for differentiation of future commitments
at the National Institute of Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), in
The Netherlands. FAIR is an interactive - scanner-type - computer model that
can be used to explore a range of alternative options for international differentiation
of commitments in a quantitative way and link these to targets for global
climate protection. It includes a case, where the Brazilian Proposal is implemented
on a global scale. It is available for download at the FAIR web site.
