Contributing to Improvement

Let's begin with a few platitudes. Individuals and groups may have very different ways of going about modelling a problem. People make mistakes. Data can be incorrect. There can be misunderstandings and misinterpretations of results. People have different motives for producing and using findings. This is in the nature of things, especially in an area as complex and contentious as climate policy, and even more especially when the policy involves developed and developing nations.

You will have ideas as to how the modelling, interpretation or communication of the Developed-Developing Nations programme can be improved. We welcome these and invite you to submit your ideas and contributions through the Attachments and Comments features below. Those contributions might be:

Improvements to the equations used
Better data for use in these equations
Additional carbon cycle, population, energy and/or land use features to be included
Suggestions as to scenarios to run
Improvements in the communication of findings
Warnings as to how findings might be misinterpreted or misused
Suggestions as to how to integrate parts of the model that are currently treated separately

We believe there are many ways in which our work can be improved, and so we invite you to join in that process of improvement. You might do that by contacting us through Doug Crawford-Brown (Director of 4CMR and the E3 Foundation) on +44 11 1223 760550 or at djc77@cam.ac.uk. Your Comments will then be posted on this microsite for the world to see.
