Managing Complex Systems
This paper shows how 'structured output' methods can ‘abstract’ important issues and concepts and feed into planning and policy outputs.
Integrating dynamic adaptation behaviour in risk assessments
Including the dynamic adaptation decisions of governments and households shown to be major determinant of future risk development, which should not be neglected in risk assessments.
Agent-based modelling: A tool for addressing policy issues
This working paper introduces agent-based modelling as a potential tool for examining complex modern policy problems, and offers examples from recent applications.

WD-NACE Scenarios Kenya
A workshop was held to inform Beach Management Unit leaders and coastal communities on project results
INCA - Bolivia
The main intention of the International Network on Climate Change (INCA) is to understand the situation of local farming and forestry systems in the tropical Andes, and to derive and test livelihood strategies for small-scale farms and indigenous communities together with local actors, scientists, experts, and students.

Agent-based modelling
In agent based models, a society is represented by a set of agents interacting with one another and with their environment. Agents follow simple rules but can be designed to adapt their behaviour to satisfy certain goals. Thus they can be responsive to changes in the environment, such as groundwater availability in the example here.
