I have tried with [`JuliaDICE`](https://github.com/sylvaticus/JuliaDICE.jl), but I missed that “JuliaX” is not considered a valid package name.

There is already a (largely unmaintained and with slight different objectives) unregistered package [DICE.jl](https://github.com/Libbum/DICE.jl) (plus another, unrelated and unregistered, [`Dice`](https://github.com/Tractables/Dice.jl) package) should I still go for just `DICE.jl` ?

`DICEModel.jl` does not sound too bad in case you want to avoid name duplication.

Since `DICE` means a lot of things, it could be `DICEClimateModel.jl`.

In this case, DICE = “Dynamic Integrated Climate-Economy model”. So I guess `DICEModel.jl` makes sense.
