IIM Ahmedabad Multiple Interfaces of Environment Assessment Policymaking Process Integrated Assessment Models and Frameworks Ecology Policy sciences Hydraulics Meteorology Climatology Geophysics Atmospheric Chemistry Economics Biology Geochemistry Knowledge disciplines
5
IIM Ahmedabad Diverse Scientific Disciplines Diverse socio-economic scenarios Macro and micro-economies Local and regional boundaries Short and long time horizons Local and global environmental concerns Rural and urban perspectives Regional emissions and impact assessment Probability and Decision under uncertainty Technology What to Integrate?
6
IIM Ahmedabad Why Integrated Assessment? To assemble, summarise, organise, interpret and reconcile pieces of existing knowledge To add value through integration (but not to add knowledge) To develop full range of policy outcomes To enhance Communication between scientific disciplines and policy formulation
7
IIM Ahmedabad Why Integrated Assessment Models? Framework for conducting research ensuring consistency pointing to areas where more information is required IAMs are good ‘forecasting’ and ‘heuristic’ tools Communications tools between different sciences and between science and policy Insights from investigations in the domains of the sub- components
