IAM_COMPACT_D3.4_Model_Interlinkages_&_Integration

Linking models to other models provides a way of expanding the boundaries of the analysis, but often requires solving difficult problems and even after that comes with trade-offs. This deliverable provides an analysis starting from how different models and their capabilities are characterised, then uses such model typologies to link IAM COMPACT models to the preliminary research questions collected in the stakeholder mechanism before finishing with a discussion about the various issues that should be considered when designing the linking trategy. The aim of this work is to feed into the next steps of the scenario and research question development process, and to the development of a generalised model linking process flow for the second modelling cycle.
