H2020 Project COASTAL - Deliverable D14 Operational SD Models for Coastal-Rural Interactions -Case Study Level
Year: 2021
Type: conference-abstract
Abstract: This WP4 deliverable (D14) is a status report for the progress made with the design and implementation of the operational land-sea models by the Multi-Actor Labs (MALs) after 36 months. The report builds on the deliverable D13 describing the system architecture and database for the draft models (Viaene et al., 2020). These operational stock-flow models are now available for all Multi Actor Labs and can be used to analyse systemic land-sea interactions and evaluate different policy alternatives with examples described in this deliverable. Not surprisingly, the project and systems modelling were affected by the impacts of the covid-19 pandemic. Planned formal and informal meetings with partners to jointly discuss the progress of the modelling, technical and design problems, and work out solutions had to be organised as online events which turned out to be far less effective despite of the number of meetings. Nevertheless, all MALs were able to identify the key stock and flow variables and quantify the social-environmental interactions connecting these variables. In the final phase of the project, these models will be combined with quantified scenarios to address system uncertainties and used to visualize business road maps and policy actions. This will help make policy and business recommendations evidence-based and allow comparison of proposed strategies for coastal-rural development, including best practices and system tipping points. Topics range from fish farming, sustainable water management, eco farming and rural tourism to renewable energy, and are being examined in the context of the EU Green Deal.
