CESM provides a unique opportunity to represent ecosystems, agriculture and urban systems to allow for impact assessment of both climate change and efforts to address those possible changes. This new framework utilizes CESM with emission driven scenarios, and active fire and biogenic aerosols that interact with a fully coupled carbon cycle. This is very different from the way CESM has been used in the CMIP6 and other Climate Intervention simulations, where CO2, other greenhouse gases, and aerosols are predetermined and prescribed for a simulation in line with the metrics of a particular future scenario. The new framework also allows for assessment of a range of interacting climate interventions in an emission pathway consistent with the UNFCCC Nationally Determined Contributions.
