Here, we develop a machine-learning-based method (RL-GCAM) to model the optimal technical and behavioral pathways to directly achieve a specific share of EV in China. In contrast with traditional stylized perturbation scenarios, we automate and improve the parameterization of technical and behavioral factors within a well-established global integrated assessment model through a reinforcement learning framework.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Paris Agreement entered into force, countries take further steps to limit Greenhouse Gases emissions.
