Findings reveal a practice of ‘political calibration’, a continuous relational readjustment between climate modelling and policy. This brings dilemmas for modellers & calls into question the political neutrality of IAMs. Read this paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Lisette van Beek

Integrated Assessment Models helped to make the 1.5C target the new guardrail for climate action. What other futures could they render imaginable? Read more Climate Connections ft. our research @maartenhajer @JeroenOomen2 Detlef van Vuuren @P_Pelzer yaleclimateconnections.org/2022/08/our-im…

Do you expect from your dog the perpetual growth you expect from the world economy?

How can we combine #science and #storytelling to communicate #climate #TippingPoints? And what are the right (evidence based?) stories to tell? We've tried this in a form of a #seriousgame. link.springer.com/article/10.100… Lisette van Beek Joost Vervoort 🌌 #tippingpoints2022

Join the 3th ‘Urgency Intensive’ on 24 September. Detlef van Vuuren & Lisette van Beek together with artists Julien Thomas and Ekaterina Volkova will reflect on their 6-month art-science collaboration on the use of global models to imagine low-carbon futures. janvaneyck.nl/calendar/urgen…

In our upcoming #MixedClassroom we will zoom in on 'Rural Utopias', reigniting our imagination of rural life in the Netherlands to enable future policy that reconnects with society. Policymakers, artists & activists can apply until October 5th. Learn more: uu.nl/en/research/ur…

Look! It's Karlijn Muiderman's PhD thesis! Really epic piece of scholarship! And what a beautiful cover. With @peterpjdriessen Aarti Gupta

COMING SOON: What do you get if you let Lisette van Beek and 2 artists in residence talk to #IAM modellers? 👇👇👇 "A Future Manual For Future Models - An artists guide on How to do Integrted Assessment Modelling Differently" futuremodelsmanual.com IMAGE model #Symposium2022

On September 24th Detlef van Vuuren Lisette van Beek Julien Thomas and Ekaterina Volkova presented 'The art of modelling and modelling through art — a visual dialogue' during the @jve_academie Urgency Intensive. Learn more about this art-science collaboration 🧵#FutureModelsManual

The UN said a couple of weeks ago staying below 1.5 degrees is now impossible unless we see "a radical transformation of society". So all the papers ran with headlines like this. None ran with "how about we have a radical transformation of society?" Sounds far preferable to me..

It's here: The Future Models Manual is now online! futuremodelsmanual.com This manual is for modellers that want to open up their minds to reimagine possible futures & for scenario users such as policymakers to reflect on the politics of modelling. #ClimateModelling #Futuring
