"Bridging the Gap: Strengthening Policymaker-Modeller Collaboration via Interactive Model Interfaces"
by Shutes, Lindsay, Robin Schuchmann, Dorothee Flaig, Alfredo Mainar, Kusum Lata, William Agyemang-Bonso and Agung Adhiasto


Abstract
There is increasing demand to evaluate the impact of policy responses to the climate crisis. Impact assessments are regularly conducted by international organisations including IPCC, United Nations, World Bank, and European Commission, as well as by national governments. However, the models used to assess these impacts are often complex and using them requires substantial training.

MIRO_UNFCCC is a user-friendly interface that enables users to run their own (simple) policy scenarios & visualise results using the same models used for in-depth impact assessment. The models are run in comparative static mode via the interface, meaning that the impact of a change in a policy instrument is shown compared to the base situation.

MIRO_UNFCCC is aimed at policy advisors and stakeholders who wish to interact with models to explore the possible impacts of response measures. It should be noted that, while MIRO_UNFCCC is based on complex impact assessment models, the use of the interface is not a substitute for in depth policy analysis by policy analysts using the core models. In depth analysis is needed ahead of any policy change being implemented. MIRO_CC offers a ‘window’ into an impact assessment toolbox rather than replacing the direct use of the toolbox for policy analysis.
