These data are ingested by the setup/calibration code for MESSAGEix-Transport.
This code takes an instance (“scenario”) of the MESSAGEix-GLOBIOM global model and alters it to add the detailed transport structure.
See the description `messageix-transport-core.yaml` for the data in the core model formulation. Data that exactly matches the core formulation can also be used as input; this file describes non-core data that can be transformed/used with existing code & methods.
This setup code was originally developed for use with data from the US-TIMES and MA³T models.

The Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) is a group of 65 central banks and supervisors and 83 observers committed to sharing best practices, contributing to the development of climate– and environment–related risk management in the financial sector and mobilising mainstream finance to support the transition toward a sustainable economy.
This Scenario Explorer is a web-based user interface for transition scenario results selected for the NGFS. This provides intuitive visualizations & display of timeseries data and download of the data in multiple formats. This Scenario Explorer hosts the NGFS scenarios, which were produced by NGFS Workstream 3 in partnership with an academic consortium from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), University of Maryland (UMD), Climate Analytics (CA), the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETH) and the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR). This work was made possible by grants from Bloomberg Philanthropies and ClimateWorks Foundation.
The bespoke scenarios developed in Phase 3 of this project are generated by state-of-the-art well-established integrated assessment models (IAMs), namely GCAM, MESSAGE-GLOBIOM and REMIND-MAgPIE. These models allow the estimation of global and regional mitigation costs, the analysis of energy system transition characteristics, the quantification of investments required to transform the energy system, and the identification of synergies and trade-off of sustainable development pathways.

1. Geographically: on the lowest level by 15 countries and 5 other regions. They are aggregated into the 5 global regions in accordance with the Global Energy Assessment.
2. by energy carrier: into 12 energy carrier categories
3. by sector: industry; transport; the aggregate of commercial, residential, agriculture, public and other; and non-energy uses
4. by end-use: thermal uses (high-temperature and low-temperature), light, stationary power, transport, feedstocks and other end-uses

The construction materials used in buildings have large and growing implications for global material flows and emissions. Material Intensity (MI) is a metric that measures the mass of construction materials per unit of a building’s floor area. MIs are used to model buildings’ materials and assess their resource use and environmental performance, critical to global climate commitments. However, MI data availability and quality are inconsistent, incomparable, and limited, especially for regions in the Global South. To address these challenges, we present the Regional Assessment of buildings’ Material Intensities (RASMI), a new dataset and accompanying method of comprehensive and consistent representative MI value ranges that embody the variability inherent in buildings. RASMI consists of 3072 MI ranges for 8 construction materials in 12 building structure and function types across 32 regions covering the entire world. The dataset is reproducible, traceable, and updatable, using synthetic data when required. It can be used for estimating historical and future material flows and emissions, assessing demolition waste and at-risk stocks, and evaluating urban mining potentials.
