Instructors who use climate change negotiation simulations in class should take a look at the Ad hoc group for the modelling and assessment of contributions of climate change (MATCH) site. The site was constructed by a group of researchers to assess assumptions underlying Brazilian proposals for emissions reductions during the negotiations for the Kyoto Protocol. Among the data sets and analysis available on the site include:
- Analysis of individual countries’ contributions to climate change: scientific and policy-related choices;
- Tracking of uncertainties in the causal chain from human activities to climate
- Contributions of individual countries’ emissions to climate change and their uncertainty
- Historical emissions, uncertainties and contributions to climate change
- An analysis of whether we can reconcile differences in estimates of carbon fluxes from land-use change and forestry for the 1990s
