SEER – systemic change that leaves no-one behind

Sandrine Dixson-Declève, Co-President of the Club of Rome and senior advisor for SYSTEMIQ, takes on an advisory role to this project beyond her engagement in the Advisory Committee. Sandrine has played a key role in co-developing the System Change Compass. She has extensive EU policy experience, and holds numerous advisory positions for the European Commission.

The ECI and especially its Director, Michael Obersteiner, has comprehensive experience in quantitative modelling in different areas, including economics, ecosystems, and integrated assessment. Michael’s vast experience in different modelling approaches ensures high scientific quality of the project’s outputs. Due to its international track record for research in climate, ecosystems and energy, the ECI is excellently positioned to advance understanding of sustainability transitions.

The Centre for System Solution (CRS) is a non-profit research organization with a longstanding experience in System Dynamics modelling and Agent-based modelling covering different areas of sustainability. The systems thinking approach and participative stakeholder engagement are core to its research. CRS has a history of numerous projects under the EU Horizon 2020 and previous EU Research Framework Programmes, subcontracts for the National Science Foundation and IIASA, and collaborations with the European Forum Alpbach, the European Commission, OECD, and others.

Under the guidance of SYSTEMIQ partner Janez Potočnik, SYTEMIQ has co-led the work on the System Change Compass which serves as the conceptual basis of this project. SYSTEMIQ has deep topic-specific expertise in the areas of clean energy, circular economy, and sustainable land use. The firm’s partnerships with global science organizations (most notably the UN IRP) and political networks facilitates the co-creation with key stakeholders.

The Center for Policy Exploration Analysis and Simulation provides insights and understanding to those who are dazzled by complexity, dynamics and uncertainty of the world around them and their own systems. They use systems thinking, modelling and simulation methods, as well as data science approaches to provide an understanding of how complex socio-economic-environmental systems work.
