International Transport Energy Modeling Location:
Theme: Transport Futures —baselines, uncertainty, and policy impact
The future is uncertain, yet robust reference cases are essential for planning and for estimating the impacts of proposed regulation and policy. With the upcoming IPCC AR7, a new set of global temperature-aligned scenarios will be developed. To complement this effort—without duplicating it—iTEM will focus on what it does best: providing a rich variety of bottom-up, mode- and region-specific perspectives.
The iTEM8 workshop is themed on two core questions:
- What is our best estimate of transport futures?
- What is the measurable or expected impact of regulation and policy?
By comparing across modes and regions, iTEM can ground global narratives with a level of operational detail that is difficult to achieve in integrated assessment modelling alone.
Agenda
The agenda is under development, but provisionally will include sessions on:
- Global scenarios
- Light-duty vehicles
- Heavy-duty road vehicles and freight generally
- Aviation and shipping
- Regional case studies and comparisons
- Drivers of uncertainty and system interactions
- Data inputs and the Transport Data Commons
- G-/NTEM outputs for IPCC AR7 and beyond
