Multinational Project Seeks Better Representation of Asia in Global Climate Models
EPRI is a sponsor and steering committee member of the Asia Modeling Scenarios Project, a new multinational project designed to better articulate the role of Asia in addressing climate change. The project attempts to bring together global modelers—knowledgeable in international policy architectures—with regional modelers and experts with Asia-specific knowledge, data, and analysis skills. The outcome of the project will be a coordinated modeling exercise that attempts to link theses communities to provide more effective modeling and analysis of Asia within a global context. EPRI’s Geoff Blanford attended the recent kick-off meeting held in Tsukuba, Japan. The next meeting will be held in Beijing in Spring 2010.
