Participatory Environmental Modeling
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:22:37
Abstract
The lecture accompanies students into a participatory modelling process about real-world environmental problems together with a partner:- Payment for Ecosystem Services for wildlife conservation in Cambodia (Emiel de Lange)- Transfarmation in France (Silvère Dumazel)- Suitability for nature-based solution to floods in Madagascar (Fabrizia Fappiano)- Rewilding in France (Nick Dubois)
Objective
In this course students will learn: • The process of developing a model to address an environmental problem: from choosing an appropriate technique (Agent-based modelling, Bayesian Networks and System dynamics), to conceptualization and model building. • Communication and facilitation skills to foster effective and legitimate collaboration with stakeholders. Students then apply this knowledge and skills to a real-life case study, creating a model with stakeholders to address an environmental problem.
