Welcome to SynsCOP15: an interactive assessment tool for the COP-15 and ensuing negotiations

This website allows the user to assess different scenarios concerning the evolution of climate change policies discussed at the UN-COP-15 Conference and still in negotiation.

The website is organized in four sections that can be accessed from the main menu on the central horizontal bar.

Evaluation Tools

To assess the proposals discussed at the COP-15 negotiations it is necessary to consider the interactions between the economy, the energy system and the climate dynamics. To do that we use  three complementary models, TIAM, GEMINI-E3 and GENIE wich will be presented in this section. Go to the EVALUATION TOOLS section

Simulation Analysis

It is possible to explore several scenarios, including what could happen if the negotiations fail, or if an agreement is limited to OECD or G20, compared to what could be achieved if a global agreement were reached. Climatic, economic and technological data are presented for each scenario. The collection of scenarios analysed will be expanded during and after COP-15. Go to the SIMULATION ANALYSIS section.
