Imagine trying to predict the future of the planet using a black box where no one knows how the answers are calculated. This project builds a more open map that shows how people's choices and nature's reactions actually affect each other. It turns complex climate data into a learning tool that anyone can understand and use to make better decisions.
Current climate models are often 'black boxes' that ignore human behavior and social diversity, making it hard for policymakers and citizens to trust and act on the results.
The FRIDA model (Versions 0.1 and 1 complete) and learning environments for simulating decision-making processes.
If you are a sustainability strategy firm dealing with client distrust in climate projections — this project developed the FRIDA model that provides transparent, traceable simulations of decision-making processes to increase client buy-in.
If you are a municipal planning office dealing with public resistance to green transitions — this project developed attractive learning environments that allow citizens to simulate policy responses and see the implications clearly.
If you are a climate risk insurer dealing with unpredictable human-nature feedbacks — this project developed a system dynamics model that captures the essence of how social and natural domains interact to better assess long-term risks.
Based on available project data, there is no pricing information provided as the project is EU-funded research.
The project is currently in the development phase, with Version 1 of the FRIDA model complete and Version 2 in progress.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, though the project emphasizes openness and transparency.
It acts as a bridge between existing models and user communities by focusing on system dynamics rather than incremental sector improvements.
The project is scheduled to run from 2022-12-01 to 2026-11-30.
The consortium is heavily academic, consisting of 12 partners from 7 countries, with 7 universities and 5 research organizations. There are 0 industry partners and 0 SMEs, indicating that the current output is focused on scientific validation and theoretical modeling rather than immediate commercial application.
