A challenge that may be achieved (at least partially) with model inter-comparisons, which are mostly used to compare outputs and insights to explore uncertainties, and diagnostics, which proposes descriptive indicators to explain characteristics of the performance in terms of model structure and assumptions. -The demand from model inter-comparison projects (MIPs) is a fruitful enterprise [@EdNature2015].

An emerging practice in the field of IAMs that will surely place these tools at the same level of reliability than climate and energy models.
