Acknowledgements
Our thanks to the following organizations for their funding:
This is an open process and we welcome funding from other interested parties.
Goals of the Exercise
Objective: to better articulate the role of Asia in addressing climate change.
Enhancing the Suite of Scenarios that Explore Asia’s Role in Addressing Climate ChangeEnhancing the Ability of Models to Effectively Represent Asia
Means: To bring together global modelers that commonly participate in efforts to explore international policy architectures with regional modelers and experts with Asia-specific knowledge, understanding, data, and analysis.
A coordinated modeling exercise that attempts to link these communities to provide more effective modeling and analysis of Asia within a global context.
A small set of coordinated scenarios and a range of extensions by individual modeling teams.

Two Categories of Issues for Better Articulating the Role of Asia in Addressing Climate Change
Enhancing the Suite of Scenarios that Explore Asia’s Role in Addressing Climate Change
Have we identified the most pressing issues that modeling could address?Have we, accordingly, articulated the most valuable scenarios?
Enhancing the Ability of Models to Effectively Represent AsiaWhat key elements are missing from the representations of Asia in the global models? In the regional models?Which elements could we improve through this exercise? How?How can the global models leverage off the regional models?How can the regional models leverage off the global models?

Address a subset of these in the core scenarios! address the rest in in extensions by the individual modeling groups. We must prioritize.
THIS IS A GOAL-ORIENTED MEETING
We have two primary objectives.Figure out what sort modeling capabilities and results are out there, at both the regional and global scale.Get a sense of the highest value next steps to move forward on a coordinated scenario exercise.
Enhancing the Suite of Scenarios that Explore Asia’s Role in Addressing Climate ChangeEnhancing the Ability of Models to Effectively Represent Asia
We want to keep conversation focused on these two objectives.We have a lot of material to go through, so we will plan to be dictatorial in keeping the process on track.
