  "abstract": "Kanitkar, Jayaraman & Lavanyaa (KJL from here on) introduce the Model for Energy Equity and Climate Compatibility (MEECC_V.1), an analytical tool positioned as an alternative integrated assessment framework. MEECC is intended to facilitate the construction of scenarios to operationalize climate-compatibility, equity, and feasibility. The attention to the development-mitigation nexus and equitable effort-sharing in the context of global mitigation pathways is necessary and overdue, and we share it without reservation. Yet, we identify a number of methodological and conceptual shortcomings of the MEEC model that raise questions about its scientific robustness and ability to inform policy.",
