Synthesizing and communicating knowledge on climate change to policymakers and stakeholders is often difficult due to the complexity and diversity of underlying research. As a “translation” instrument, we present the mipplot tool, an open-source R package that can be used to visualize data of long-term climate mitigation scenarios. With simple commands and under a user-friendly language platform, this tool generates plots in multiple languages for any scenario dataset following the data submission format of the Integrated Assessment Modeling Consortium. The plots can be generated both by function call in R environment and by an interactive interface in a web browser environment, which offers greater flexibility of inputs and suits both experts and non-experts. Moreover, its capability of specifying aggregation rules and different display languages extends its applicability to a broader range of users.

由于基础研究的复杂性和多样性，通常难以将有关气候变化的知识综合起来并传达给决策者和利益相关者。作为一种“翻译”工具，我们介绍了mipplot工具，一个开源的R包，可用于可视化长期减缓气候变化方案的数据。该工具使用简单的命令并在用户友好的语言平台下，按照集成评估建模协会的数据提交格式，为任何方案数据集生成多种语言的绘图。可以通过R环境中的函数调用以及Web浏览器环境中的交互界面生成图，这提供了更大的输入灵活性，并且适合专家和非专家。此外，其指定聚合规则和不同显示语言的能力将其适用性扩展到更广泛的用户。
