PAGE Model (Policy Analysis of the Greenhouse Effect)

The PAGE (Policy Analysis of the Greenhouse Effect) model is a tool used to estimate how human activities, like burning fossil fuels, increase greenhouse gases and contribute to global warming. It combines scientific climate data with economic and societal factors to predict potential future impacts such as temperature rise, sea level increase, and the associated costs. Policymakers use PAGE to assess risks and weigh options for reducing emissions or adapting to climate change, helping them make informed decisions to manage environmental and economic trade-offs effectively.
