Tackling Climate Change with System Dynamics Understanding climate change and crafting effective responses is one of the most complex challenges of our time. Climate impacts ripple through multiple sectors, energy, agriculture, urban infrastruct...

In this #ModellingMonday, Research Engineer Martin Zach from AIT Austrian Institute of Technology shows how System Dynamics brings these perspectives together, turning understanding into action.

Models shape how we see the world and how we move within it.
They frame what we call complex, and they guide how we respond.

Understanding How People Cope with Climate Change: The KNOWING Climate Impact Coping Typology – Knowing

In #KNOWING, the Behaviour Model helps to specify different pathways; for example, how population typologies shift in dealing with climate. The model results are tailored to the different demonstrators by using the distribution of behaviour types. shorturl.at/QcIfS #ModellingMonday #climate

⚡ #ModellingMonday – What’s the best energy mix to reach full decarbonisation? 🌍

More renewables alone aren’t enough! We need the right combination that holds up under stress. 👇

What if your city park could protect you from flooding? 🌳

Urban floods are becoming more frequent and costly. Nature-based solutions might be the key. 👇

🌡️ Heatwaves don’t hit every part of a city the same.
Some neighbourhoods suffer much more than others. 👇

All models feed into a shared System Dynamics model.

This allows us to test how actions in one sector affect others – and to design realistic, regionally grounded climate pathways.

Follow next #ModellingMonday to explore one model every week.

KNOWING uses 3 model types:

1️⃣ Climate – e.g. WRF
→ Forecasts heat, rain, extremes

2️⃣ Sector – e.g. CLUMondo
→ Simulates land use, energy, mobility

3️⃣ Impact – e.g. PALM-4U
→ Assesses effects on health & infrastructure

#ModellingMonday #KNOWING

In KNOWING, we combine climate, sectoral, and impact assessment models in one integrated System Dynamics framework.

This helps simulate interactions, trade-offs, and synergies so decisions are context-sensitive and system-aware.

📊 #ModellingMonday

To plan climate action effectively, we need to understand how climate, mitigation, and adaptation measures interact.

Starting now, we’ll introduce one model each week in our new #ModellingMonday series.

Happy Monday everyone!! 😁😁
