Regions¶
The combined MESSAGEix-GLOBIOM framework has global coverage and divides the world into 11 regions which are also the native regions of the MESSAGEix model (see Fig. 2 and Table 1 below). GLOBIOM natively operates at the level of 30 regions which in the linkage to MESSAGEix are aggregated to the 11 regions as listed in Table 2.
The country definitions of the 11 MESSAGEix regions are described in the table below (Table 1). In some scenarios, the MESSAGEix region of FSU (Former Soviet Union) is disaggregated into four sub-regions resulting in a 14-region MESSAGEix model.
