What: A pre-Congress event in the lead up to Sustainability Research and Innovation Congress 2022. You can find more details about the simulation below, and watch this video for an idea of what it will involve:
Who: You inside an interactive, social simulation.
When: April 21, 2022 at 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm South Africa Time (SAST)
Where: Online. All you need are:
- A stable internet connection
- The latest version of Chrome or Mozilla Firefox
- The Zoom app and a Zoom account with the same email address as the one used for the conference registration
- Ideally a headset with a mic (or equivalent) for the best audio and most immersive experience

SRI has partnered with the Centre for Systems Solutions to present an interactive social simulation with a focus on cascading climate impacts. We will explore the effects of these climate impacts on food production, supply chains, and ultimately the consequences on climate mitigation, biodiversity, and health. Compared to written or oral forms of communication, social simulations combine challenge, immersion, emotions, and learning-by-doing in a safe environment. Throughout the experiment, participants will be able to explore the real-world stories and research that inspired the simulated events. The simulation and associated storylines are relevant and interesting for a broad audience, from policy makers, business leaders, researchers, to students.
Cascading Climate Impacts is available as an interactive and immersive group simulation session, with follow-up discussion. The Cascading Climate Impacts Policy Simulation was created as part of the “CASCADES – Cascading climate risks: Towards adaptive and resilient European Societies” project, which was funded through the EU Horizon 2020 programme.
