Complexity

Environmental problems and related policy measures

mutually influence each other.

Page 3: Data modelling and visualization in German environmental policies

Solutions

Policies solving one problem...

Page 4: Data modelling and visualization in German environmental policies

Side effects

.. may have unwanted side effects in other areas.

Page 5: Data modelling and visualization in German environmental policies

The biofuels example

10% of biofuels in gasoline ordinance..

Page 6: Data modelling and visualization in German environmental policies

The biofuels example

.. resulted in additional land cultivation with heavy environmental impacts.

Page 7: Data modelling and visualization in German environmental policies

The problem

* complex relationships

* need to priorize

* high degree of specialisation

Page 8: Data modelling and visualization in German environmental policies

The result

Unidimensional Policies.

Page 9: Data modelling and visualization in German environmental policies

The project

Method and tool to trace back potential incoherencies.

Page 10: Data modelling and visualization in German environmental policies

Data modeled as Causal chain...

Goal Root cause

Problem

Measures Resulting behavior

[-1,0,+1]

Page 11: Data modelling and visualization in German environmental policies

Incoherent policies

.. trigger a behaviour which increases the problem pressure for other problems.
