The reference scenario in the LUISA platform : updated configuration 2014

The LUISA land-use modelling framework is used routinely for integrated sustainability assessments of EC policies. All policy impacts are assessed by comparing policy scenario model results with a reference scenario. This reference scenario is frequently updated to take into account new developments in land-use modelling practice, and to take into account new projections offered by the various sectoral models that supply information to LUISA.. This report details all changes made in 2014 as updates to the EU Reference scenario 2013 with regard to land-use claims and the LUISA spatial allocation mechanism. Finally, new developments related to the reporting and visualization of LUISA model results are highlighted.
