Modelling policies
==================
The global energy model distinguishes between eleven global regions (cf. Section :ref:`spatial`). It is nevertheless important to represent current and planned national policies - such as the nationally determined contributions (NDCs) as agreed upon in the Paris Agreement - at a lower geographical resolution, in order to be able to adequately account for future changes in the scenario development processes.

Some NDCs specify capacity installation targets, e.g. for planned power plants which will be operational by a certain year. Others specify that a given energy commodity will come from a specific source, for example a certain amount of electricity will stem form a specific intermittent renewable source or nuclear. These targets types are implemented in the model as lower bounds on generation.
