This paper explores the limitations of the IPCC's Working Group III (WGIII) reports in providing actionable insights for climate policy design. Despite its stated principle of being 'policy-relevant but not policy-prescriptive', the authors argue that WGIII's focus on carbon pricing implicitly prescribes a specific policy approach. Using the E3ME-FTT framework as an example, the paper proposes a pathway for the IPCC to incorporate a wider range of realistic and granular policies, improving its relevance to policymakers.
