| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, offer economic benefits but also contribute to climate change, causing societal harm. To determine optimal emission reduction strategies, it is crucial to quantitatively compare the costs and benefits, considering both economic and climate factors simultaneously. This research project aims to refine an integrated model that incorporates the latest scientific insights, enabling a more accurate assessment of the trade-offs between economic activities and their environmental impact. By enhancing the model's ability to capture the complex interplay of these factors, policymakers can make more informed decisions regarding emission reduction targets, timelines, and the allocation of responsibilities among different actors. Ultimately, this research seeks to provide a robust framework for navigating the challenges posed by climate change while minimizing economic disruptions.

気候変動問題は，気候科学の専門家だけでなく，様々な分野の専門家が協力して解決すべき課題です．ただ，地球の気候を大規模計算機で再現する気候モデルは非常に複雑なもので，他分野の研究者がその成果を正確に理解し，自らの研究に活用することは簡単ではありません．この研究で開発した理論は，複雑な気候モデルのエッセンスをシンプルなモデルで再現できるようにすることで，非専門家が最新の気候科学にアクセスするためのインターフェイスとして機能します．幅広い分野における応用研究や政策における意思決定をサポートすることも期待されます．
