The session was a part of the International Industrial Ecology Day 2023 (November 30) – the 3rd IE Day organized by the International Society for Industrial Ecology (ISIE).
Original title: Advancing Energy and Environmental Systems Models for Carbon Neutrality and Sustainable Development
Session Abstract
In the face of the global imperative to combat climate change and attain sustainable development goals, there is a growing demand for advanced energy and environmental systems models capable of guiding strategies for climate change mitigation and sustainable development. This interdisciplinary session seeks to explore and showcase cutting-edge research and innovations in the field of energy and environmental systems modeling, with a specific focus on their application to carbon neutrality and sustainable development goals.
Presentations featured in this session will delve into the development and application of energy and environmental systems models. Speakers will share case studies and best practices that highlight successful applications of energy and environmental systems models in achieving carbon neutrality and fostering sustainable development. Topics may include industrial decarbonization, energy transition, and carbon capture and utilization. Speakers will also address the role of modeling in shaping effective policies and governance structures for carbon neutrality and sustainable development. This will entail detailed discussions on the alignment of models with national and international climate and sustainable development goals.
The session will emphasize the importance of scenario analysis in decision-making processes. Attendees will learn how models can help policymakers and stakeholders assess diverse pathways toward carbon neutrality and their associated trade-offs.
Scope
Integrated Assessment Models, Material Flow Analysis, Input-output Analysis, Life Cycle Assessment, Energy Systems Analysis
