This research paper uses a simulation-based multi-criteria land use optimization procedure to identify global land-use scenarios that balance terrestrial carbon storage, biodiversity conservation, and food supply for 9 billion people within the Planetary Boundaries framework.

This research paper presents a high-resolution nationwide water supply model calibrated with 2010 data from Israel to determine optimal water extraction and pricing. The study suggests that desalination capacity was overbuilt and that current water economy legislation carries a significant welfare cost.

This guide explains how the Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP) integrates with the open-source NEMO framework to perform energy system optimization. It details the capabilities for both partial and full energy system optimization, the costs and constraints considered in least-cost calculations, and the options for foresight modeling.
