Integrated Assessment Models: methods and applications to understand and govern complexity
September 21, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
We invite you to join us for this upcoming IEEE Chapter Meeting of the IEEE Boston Sensors Council and IEEE Boston Solid-State Circuits Society Chapters. Explore how models are incorporating data with knowledge and advanced methodologies. Contribute your thoughts and ideas on the future change to address sustainable needs and goals.
In this program, Dr. Tiziano Distefano will present on his work for “Integrated Assessment Models: methods and applications to understand and govern complexity” followed by a facilitated discussion and Q&A.
Abstract: Climate change and increasing inequality have emerged as twin threats: we are not only failing to solve these problems but are in fact worsening them. Inertia and reluctance to change are in part due to the difficulty in understanding complex systems. One promising approach is given by the so-called Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) which merge diverse knowledge, data, and methodologies to address complex environmental problems and their connections with the economic system. IAMs provide a coherent quantitative framework to build up Policy scenario analysis designed to identify fine-tuned policies and envision feasible pathways toward an equitable low-carbon transition. Several applications for the Italian and France cases will be shown, together with possible future applications for the US with a focus on the relations between technological progress, labor, and social welfare.
Coffee, tea, and snacks will be available!
