项目背景及详情

In 2022, 共同创造理解的能力, 可视化, 和Mitigate Climate-Change Impact Cascades and Inequities in Central 墨西哥” was awarded a $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation’s Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE) program (award #2230723).

The project involves nine Clark faculty from the 部门 可持续发展与社会正义, 地理研究生院, 贝克尔设计学院 & 技术(BSDT). Our partners in 墨西哥 include faculty from the National Autonomous University of 墨西哥’s (UNAM) Laboratory for Sustainability Sciences (LANCIS), 大气科学研究所 & 气候变化(ICAyCC), Program for Climate Change Research (PINCC), as well as the 墨西哥 City government and local communities.

The project co-creates and integrates four components:

  1. A regional climate-change atlas using web-based GIS to map and spatially analyze climate, 水, 粮食和农业, 生态系统, 健康, 以及生活条件
  2. A system dynamics model (SDM) to represent interactions among these sectors, impact cascades (one sector’s impacts propagate through others), the unevenness of impacts across populations/landscapes, the simulation of alternative futures
  3. An eXtended Reality (XR) platform that allows stakeholders to inhabit those futures virtually to chart sustainable, 社会就, 适应气候变化的途径
  4. A research/practice-based suite of courses that Clark and UNAM students take together — including field research with local community partners

Interdisciplinary stakeholder co-creation is central to the work. Cohorts of Clark students spend months in the field, living and working with community partners and UNAM peers, which results in a transformative team-based experience.
