Improving reduced complexity model assessment and usability

Reduced complexity climate models are useful tools with practical policy applications, yet evaluation of their performance and application is nascent. We call for stakeholder-driven development and assessment to address user needs, including provision of open-source code and guidance to inform model selection and application.

Automated summary

Reduced complexity climate models are valuable tools for practical policy applications, but their performance evaluation and application still need further development. Stakeholder-driven development and assessment, along with open-source code and guidance, play a crucial role in improving model selection and application.
