Short summary
This paper presents the new and open-source version 2.1 of the REgional Model of INvestments and Development (REMIND) with the aim of improving code documentation and transparency. REMIND is an integrated assessment model (IAM) of the energy-economic system. By answering questions like Can the world keep global warming below 2 °C? and, if so, Under what socio-economic conditions and applying what technological options?, it is the goal of REMIND to explore consistent transformation pathways.
