The Climate action Outcomes and Mitigation Policy Assessment “COMPASS” toolbox is a selection of climate scenario modelling tools developed by NewClimate Institute to support decision-makers, analysts and civil society to assess and understand the impacts of climate action and policies.
Common features across tools:
- Focused on impacts of actions and policies to mitigate climate change
- Modular setup, designed to be used either as standalone tools; or with soft links to other COMPASS tools and/or third-party models
- Excel-based analytical tools
- Facilitate comparison across different scenarios / policies / outcomes
- Explore potential opportunities and barriers to raise climate ambition
The COMPASS tools cover the following areas:
Track and analyse GHG emission scenarios
Tools to track and project GHG emission scenarios at both sectoral and economy-wide levels:
