### Overview
- IMF-ENV is a global dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model developed by the IMF's Research Department.
- Purpose: to assess medium- and long-term macroeconomic effects and structural shifts arising from national and/or global climate mitigation, energy, fiscal and trade policies.
- Model reports impacts on macroeconomic variables, sectoral outcomes, employment and bilateral trade flows, and provides detailed information for energy demand and supply, electricity generation and GHG emissions.

### Model features and scope
- Database coverage: 160 countries and regions.
- Sectoral detail: 76 sectors.
- Calibration: can be calibrated to a wide range of country-sector combinations.
- Structure: general equilibrium framework enabling assessment of both direct and indirect domestic structural changes and cross-border spillover effects of policies.

### Key analytic capabilities and outputs
- Macroeconomic variables (unspecified list as per source).
- Sectoral outcomes.
- Employment impacts.
- Bilateral trade flows.
- Detailed energy module covering:
  - Energy demand and supply.
  - Electricity generation.
  - Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
