Abstract. This paper describes GCAM v5.1, an open source model that represents the linkages between energy, water, land, climate, and economic systems. is a market equilibrium model, global in scope, operates from 1990 to 2100 5-year time steps. It can be used examine, for example, how changes population, income, or technology cost might alter crop production, energy demand, water withdrawals, one region's demand affect land other regions. including its assumptions, inputs, outputs. We then...
This paper explores potential future implications of climate change on building energy expenditures around the globe. Increasing result from increased electricity use for cooling, and are offset to varying degrees, depending region, by decreased consumption heating. The analysis is conducted using a model global buildings sector within GCAM integrated assessment model. framework valuable because it represents socioeconomic system changes that will be important understanding in future....
<title>Abstract</title> Reducing within-region income inequality is a global priority that needs to be urgently addressed promote human development and ensure population meets basic living standards. This could lead higher energy-related emissions by lower-income consumers, potentially creating some conflicts with climate change mitigation objectives. Using an enhanced version of the Global Change Analysis Model, we simulate reductions allow for narrowing differences in energy food demand...
The increasing data requirements of complex models demand robust, reproducible, and transparent systems to track prepare models' inputs. Here we describe version 1.0 the gcamdata R package that processes raw inputs produce hundreds XML files needed by GCAM integrated human-earth model. It features extensive functional unit testing, tracing visualization, enforces metadata, documentation, flexibility in its component data-processing subunits. Although this is specific GCAM, many structural...
In the 2015 Paris Agreement, nations worldwide pledged emissions reductions (Nationally Determined Contributions-NDCs) to avert threat of climate change, and agreed periodically review these pledges strengthen their level ambition. Previous studies have analyzed NDCs largely in terms implied contribution limit global warming, implications on energy sector or mitigation costs. Nevertheless, a gap literature exists regarding understanding countries' Energy-Water-Land nexus resource systems....
This article analyzes road transport in India to explore linkages between air pollution and climate change policies the transportation sector. Five teams modeled five policy scenarios – fuel efficiency, electrification, alternative fuels, modal shifts, moderation demand which brings largest synergetic effects reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions. The also comprehensive scenario included measures from individual scenarios. paper concludes that all of provide...
Abstract Extreme heat events are a threat to human health, productivity, and food supply, so understanding their drivers is critical adaptation resilience. Anticyclonic circulation certain quasi-stationary Rossby wave patterns well known coincide with heatwaves, soil moisture deficits amplify extreme in some regions. However, the relative roles of these two factors causing heatwaves still unclear. Here we use constructed analogs estimate contribution atmospheric United States Community Earth...
There is an urgent need for multi-model studies to characterize uncertainty arising from model heterogeneity.These aim build a more reliable and transparent framework, informing policymakers in the design implementation of climate policies (Guivarch et al., 2022).In response this challenge, multiple institutes organizations have adopted standardized data template developed by Integrated Assessment Modeling Consortium (IAMC).This maintained International Institute Applied Systems Analysis...
Energy system transformation scenarios satisfying particular climate stabilization objectives, such as 2°C, suggest that a wide range of fossil energy outcomes could be consistent with objectives. The underlying drivers variability in these cannot, however, easily separated. This paper attempts to shed light on using single, state-of-the-art global integrated assessment model (GCAM) evaluate the implications near 2°C. We focus specifically role primary through midcentury under different...
The concept of the energy, water, and land (EWL) nexus encompasses a growing concern on availability vital resources derived from these intertwined systems, how to manage respond challenges posed by future human demands, aggravated perspective climate change.This paper explores Paris Agreement Climate Mitigation Pledges might influence EWL in Latin America Caribbean (LAC).In particular, it near-term long-term implications pledges four major countries/economies LAC: Argentina, Brazil,...

As the imperative to address climate change intensifies, understanding effectiveness of policy interventions becomes paramount. In context addressing these urgent challenges and given inadequacy current policies this issue, study examines extent which Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) Long-Term Targets (LTTs) can contribute achieving ambitious goals. Recognizing critical need for effective action, we employ advanced modelling tools PROMETHEUS GCAM assess implications different...
<title>Abstract</title> The global food system plays a crucial role in shaping societal and environmental futures, with dietary shifts having broad implications across multiple sectors. While plant-based non-ruminant proteins are gaining popularity wealthier nations, regional adoption of sustainable diets remains uncertain highly variable. Here, we explore the benefits increasing protein intake or reducing ruminant livestock consumption scenarios. Using an Integrated Assessment Model, find...
