2. Energy shares
3. Capacity or generation targets
4. Macro-economic targets
A detailed description of the methodological implementation of the NDCs in the global energy model, along with an extensive list of the energy related targets considered can be found in Rogelj et al. (2017) :cite:`rogelj_indc_2017`. Additional policies implemented in the model can also be found in ('what reference for the CD_Links related policies?`)

@volker-krey Marks paper is still not published. Do you have a suggestion for an alternative source to cite the currently implemented policies?

@OFR-IIASA would this also work, or are you referring to other, later policy implementations?

@jkikstra the suggested publication is already part of the description. :cite:rogelj_indc_2017. This describes the methodology.
The second publication is a reference we require for "which" policies we have implemented. This was supposed to be part of a paper published by a colleague at PBL. The paper is still not out, so I was wondering if there is another source we can quote. @volker-krey Possibly we can link to http://www.climatepolicydatabase.org/

Some NDCs specify capacity installation targets, e.g. for planned power plants which will be operational by a certain year. Others specify that a given energy commodity will come from a specific source, for example a certain amount of electricity will stem form a specific intermittent renewable source or nuclear. These targets types are implemented in the model as lower bounds on generation.

@volker-krey maybe you can provide input on this section, explaining how some of the policies were implemented by adjusting macro related parameters?

my apologies for committing this directly; normally I would have done this through a mini-PR, but for some reason GitHub gives a 404 when I try to do that.

Since this PR has seen no activity in 5 months, I am going to merge it so that we can complete the “2019” update of the docs. I created two follow-up issues—#42 and #43—and made one commit adding references to these, inline.
