Simulating Climate Policy Impacts by Building a Database of Emissions Research

Simulating Climate Policy Impacts by Building a Database of Emissions Research

I led a team to collect data on the impact of various policy changes on global emissions and develop an R Shiny app to simulate which combinations of structural and behavioural changes need to be made to achieve Paris Agreement targets.

Project Overview

Motivation Despite the promises of international climate agreements, greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere continue at record levels, committing the planet to dangerous future warming
Data Produced country-level simulations of CO₂-equivalent reductions for specific proposed emission reduction strategies
Client Climate researchers and policymakers
Status In Progress
Outcome TBD
