An Open-source Tool for Analyzing and Visualizing the Mitigation Scenarios Data from IAMs

Integrated assessment models (IAM) provide key information to allow policymakers to understand the possible outcomes of alternative development and climate policy scenarios. However, the complexity and large size of information resulting from IAMs, prevents straightforward communication of key insights to policy makers, unless a “translation channel” is present. This poster introduces the latest outcomes in the development of this translation tool, named “mipplot.” It is a hands-on tool for both non-expert and expert users. The operation method of tool is simple, can analysis all data and generate the plots in the same time.
