The WISE Horizons Modelling Lab convened modelers and other experts to reflect together on the main dynamics that should take part in an integrated model focused on wellbeing, inclusion, and sustainability. Participants discussed five thematic models developed by the WISE Horizons Team and identified the dynamics with the greatest potential to drive positive transformation within an integrated model. Through these collaborations, the co-creative lab will generate an integrated model that will help crystallise visions of 2050. As such, the recommendations from participants will help shape WISE Horizons’ future modelling work.
The 4th in our co-creation lab series, the Modelling Lab built upon previous workshops, namely, the Global South Insights, Just Transition and Future Labs that brought valuable and diverse perspectives into the WISE Horizons’ modelling work. The outcomes of the Modelling Lab will inform the upcoming Policy Lab which will scrutinise model dynamics and their potential societal impacts.
The lab took place over two 3-hour sessions from 9:30-12:30 CEST, on April 8th and 9th online.
