Global climate change has become a major concern for international and national policymakers. Costa Rica has taken a leadership role by announcing an integrated national environmental strategy, including some management of its carbon emission and sequestration. The Costa Rica Carbon Management (CRCM) model is intended to assist national policymakers understand the long-term interactions between the economy, the population and natural processes influencing the country's net carbon balance. The model was originally developed as part of the Business Applications in System Dynamics course at the Sloan School of Management MIT. An expanded MIT modeling team with the support of the center for Sustainable Development of the Universidad de Costa Rica (CIEDES) and the Central American Climate Change Program, is now working to (1) enhance the feedback relationships within the land use and energy sectors and between the economy and the remaining sectors, (2) obtain better estimates of parameters in the model, and (3) develop more realistic policy scenarios.
