Products and publications

NAVIGATE will synthesize its advances towards the next generation of IAMs in a range of different products, including reports, publications, teaching material, documentation and databases

NAVIGATOR: A toolbox for accessing IAM resources and results developed during the course of the project. The objective of the IAM NAVIGATOR is to foster uptake of IAM advances and new policy insights by users, experts in related fields, and the IAM community itself.

It contains three main sections:

  • LEARN about integrated assessment modeling
  • USE integrated assessment modeling results
  • APPLY new methods and tool
