The IGSM has also been referenced in academic literature on climate systems, human activity, and policy implications. Version 1 was used by the model creators for an analysis of the Kyoto Protocol in a 1999 paper for Nature.[9] Version 2.2 was used by the creators of the model in a study published as a working paper in 2008.[10] A modified version was published in Climatic Change in 2011.[11] A 2012 working paper did an analysis of climate policy targets under uncertainty.[12] The strategy for investigating the impacts of climate change on Earth’s physical, biological and human resources and links to their socio-economic consequences in the MIT IGSM is discussed in an article published in Climatic Change in 2013.[13] A demonstration of the IGSM capabilities for multi-sectoral assessment of climate impacts under a range of consistent and integrated economic and climate scenarios that are responsive to new policies and business expectations was published in Nature Communications in 2018.[14]
