• Call for abstracts

  The IAMC solicits abstracts for oral and poster presentations on the following selected research topics:

  1. 1. NATIONAL. Assessment of national mitigation strategies. This session will focus on assessing the effectiveness and consequences of climate policies at the national scale, including the implementation of nationally determined contributions, net-zero targets and mid-century strategies.
     2. DEEP. Analysis of deep mitigation strategies. This session will focus on (the consequences of) mitigation scenarios aimed at stringent mitigation targets consistent with the Paris Agreement.
     3. INTERNATIONAL. International climate policy. This session focuses on the implementation of international climate policy in the context of UNFCCC, including the use of flexible instruments (Article 6).
     4. DEMAND. Demand-side mitigation, including lifestyle change and degrowth. This session will focus on modelling energy demand and the role of efficiency improvement. Attention will also be paid to the role of behavioral change, degrowth and its representation in IAM models. Finally, submissions may investigate the consequences of digitalization.
     5. ENERGY. Energy supply-sector analysis. The section will investigate the advanced analysis of electricity and hydrogen production (including system integration) and the use of these energy carriers in end-use sectors.
     6. CARBON. Carbon dioxide removal and nature-based solution. This section looks into promising carbon dioxide removal techniques (CCU, BECCS, DACS, and others) – and the implications of using these.
     7. SECTORAL. Sectoral transition pathways. Integrated assessment of pathways to carbon neutrality in individual sectors, including industry, transport, and building. The Paris Agreement requires carbon neutrality around the middle of the century. This session will look into mitigation pathways for individual sectors to reach zero emissions.
     8. CIRCULAR. Circular economy. Analysis of circular economy concepts and their consequences for greenhouse gas mitigation. IAMs have typically focused on energy supply and demand changes as part of mitigation strategies. Reducing material use via resource efficiency, recycling, and reuse can indirectly lead to energy demand reductions. This session focuses on emerging IAM analysis on the effectiveness of such strategies, and the material flows through the human economy.
     9. NON-STATE. Analysis of the contribution of non-state action. Modelling subnational mitigation strategies (non-state actors). More-and-more attention is given to mitigation action by non-state actors, including businesses and cities. This session will focus on the IAM analysis of their contribution. 
     10. JUSTICE. Climate justice (including equity and distributional impacts). Analysis of distributional aspects of mitigation strategies (both at the international and national scale) and the development of just transition strategies. The support for mitigation strategies often depends on the (perceived) fairness of strategies. In this session, we will look into the distributional and fairness aspects of mitigation strategies related to IAM analysis. 
     11. ECONOMIC. Economic assessment analysis of climate policy. This session will focus on new work on the economic consequences of mitigation and integrated approaches to mitigation, adaptation, and impacts together. This could cover work on cost-benefit analysis, the social cost of carbon, and the integration of impacts on process-based IAMs.
     12. ADAPTATION. Adaptation and mitigation (synergies and trade-offs). Effective climate policy includes both adaptation and mitigation elements. A critical question is how these interact and how to identify possible synergies and trade-offs.
     13. FINANCE. Climate finance. This section focuses on the financial aspects of mitigation and adaptation strategies and risks associated with climate impacts.
     14. IMPACTS. Impacts of climate change (including representation of the climate system).  This session will focus on modelling climate impacts in integrated assessment models. Special attention will be paid to the representation of adaptation in IAMs. Impacts of climate change, such as those on agriculture, energy systems or wider. The session will also look into the representation of the climate system itself (including small climate models and emulators).
     15. METHODS. Methodological advances in IAM research. This session will specifically look at various methodological issues related to IAMs, including open science and uncertainty analysis. This may also involve model validation, programming languages presentation tools, model solvers, representation of complex policies and model evaluation. 
     16. POLICY. Policy instruments for transition pathways. This session will focus on the analysis of policy instruments (such as financial instruments, standards, and information) – including their effectiveness, efficiency in different sectors and policy situations.
     17. LAND. Land, agriculture, and forestry.This session will focus on the pros and cons of land-based mitigation measures such as bioenergy, reforestation and avoiding deforestation, as well as the specific role of the agriculture and forestry sectors. 
     18. SUSTAINABLE. Sustainable development.This section will focus on the assessment of Sustainable Development Strategies, including scenarios aiming to reach multiple SDGs and analysis of the energy-water-land nexus. 
     19. TRADE. Trade and security. There are several relationships between climate policy and trade. The crises of the last few years have also increased attention to security issues. Several new climate policies do directly relate to trade aspects. 
     20. SSPs.SSPs, new baseline scenarios and representation of shocks. This session is looking for updates and extensions of the SSP scenarios in various areas and across scales, such as developing national and regional scenarios and their association with appropriate SSP domains. At the same time other new scenarios and focus on the representation of shocks are also welcome. 
     21. STAKEHOLDERS.Presentation of results and stakeholder interaction (including art collaboration). This session will focus on novel ways to present IAM results and scenario assumptions. This includes new visualization techniques and more comprehensive art or design-based methods of presenting IAM knowledge. It will also focus on the interaction between stakeholders and IAM research. Legitimacy is an important requirement for good research. 
     22. TRANSITION. Transition scenarios. This section will focus on the representation of socio-technical transitions in IAM research (including institutional change) and issues related to feasibility. Specifically, it will address how to combine insights from social-technical transition research, insights on institutional change and governance and IAM modelling. One of the relevant topics here can be dealing with different forms of feasibility (technical, economic, and social or political). 
     23. OTHER. Other. This allows for submissions not related to the topics above. 

     The Annual Meeting organising committee will assign topics to parallel sessions and poster sessions based on the number and quality of submitted abstracts. Poster abstracts on other topics different from the selection will also be considered.

The financial support provided by the CCMI project can cover reasonable travel and accommodation costs (for in-person attendance), and conference registration fees (for both in-person and online attendance). After the conference, modellers are asked to provide a mission report describing the main insights they gained at the conference.

The funding support aims to remove financial barriers for modellers that will otherwise struggle to attend specialised conferences. Applications from researchers from developing countries and early-stage researchers/ students are particularly encouraged.

Application for funding is now closed.
