Abstract

Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) are computational tools used to explore energy futures and sustainable transitions. This paper presents the WILIAM-TERRA model, a novel platform for analyzing the interactions between land, food, energy and the environment. WILIAM-TERRA is integrated in the Within Limits Integrated Assessment Model (WILIAM), a new open-source model that has been designed to address several limitations of existing IAMs.

WILIAM-TERRA explores the energy transitions, both from the point of view of the sinks (climate change) and from the point of view of the resources (biofuels, forests and solar electricity). Additionally, is focuses on the ecological transition of the food system including dietary changes, sustainable agriculture and regional food exchanges. These features provide a broader scope than the traditional emissions-based approach of most IAMs, enabling a more systemic analysis.

Some results of the interaction of diet policies with forest and cropland expansion, of the effect of wood extraction in forests integrity and of the carbon capture in grasslands have been presented. These results represent only a small sample of what can be analysed with WILIAM-TERRA and should be further explored in the future.

使用威廉姆系统动力学的TERRA模块分析土地、能源和粮食之间的竞争

综合评估模型（iam）是用于探索能源未来和可持续转型的计算工具。本文提出了william - terra模型，这是一个分析土地、食物、能源和环境之间相互作用的新平台。WILIAM- terra集成在限制内综合评估模型（wiiliam）中，这是一种新的开源模型，旨在解决现有iam的几个限制。william - terra从汇（气候变化）和资源（生物燃料、森林和太阳能发电）的角度探索能源转换。此外，它还关注粮食系统的生态转型，包括饮食变化、可持续农业和区域粮食交换。这些特性比大多数iam的传统基于排放的方法提供了更广泛的范围，从而能够进行更系统的分析。本文介绍了饮食政策与森林和耕地扩张的相互作用、森林完整性中木材提取的影响以及草原中碳捕获的影响。这些结果只代表了williams - terra可以分析的一小部分样本，应该在未来进一步探索。

期刊介绍： The mission of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews is to disseminate the most compelling and pertinent critical insights in renewable and sustainable energy, fostering collaboration among the research community, private sector, and policy and decision makers. The journal aims to exchange challenges, solutions, innovative concepts, and technologies, contributing to sustainable development, the transition to a low-carbon future, and the attainment of emissions targets outlined by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews publishes a diverse range of content, including review papers, original research, case studies, and analyses of new technologies, all featuring a substantial review component such as critique, comparison, or analysis. Introducing a distinctive paper type, Expert Insights, the journal presents commissioned mini-reviews authored by field leaders, addressing topics of significant interest. Case studies undergo consideration only if they showcase the work's applicability to other regions or contribute valuable insights to the broader field of renewable and sustainable energy. Notably, a bibliographic or literature review lacking critical analysis is deemed unsuitable for publication.
