Efforts to achieve decarbonization targets often fall short. Energy system modeling based on integrated assessment models (IAMs) has been used widely to assess current climate policies and quantify the additional efforts needed to close the gap. Yet, most energy modeling still lacks adequate considerations of socio-political…
