Integrating climate risk into decision-making: An integrated assessment model approach
This research project aims to develop and implement integrated assessment models (IAMs) to enhance our understanding of climate-related risks and their implications for decision-making. We will focus on implementing comprehensive models incorporating carbon cycle, climate science, and estimated economic impact. The student will be responsible for the following, among others:
- Familiarizing themselves with the literature on climate risk and IAMs.
- Understanding the DICE model and other relevant IAMs.
- Writing computer code to implement the models.
- Applying the models to realistic risk assessment scenarios.
- Documenting all work.
