UNIFIED CLIMATE OPTIONS NEXUS
About UNICON
UNICON is a global integrated assessment model project for the effective implementation of carbon neutrality.
01
Why UNICON
The Paris Agreement calls for global mitigation models that can inform Nationally Determined Contributions, the Global Stocktake, and international carbon markets.
UNICON links bottom-up sector models with a top-down economic model to examine technology diffusion, mitigation pathways, and the implications of international climate targets.
02
Scientific and technological impact
The project improves mitigation forecasts and policy evaluation while building an integrated database for greenhouse gases, energy technologies, and the global economy.
03
Socioeconomic impact
UNICON supports analysis of international carbon markets and carbon border policies, domestic response strategies, and professional training.
04
Environmental impact
More reliable mitigation pathways improve environmental impact assessment and public understanding of climate action.
