7
ONEPlanET Models Part I: Water, Energy and Food Models
WEF Nexus model developed in Vensim, explaining its structure, key components, and how changes in one sector impact others for sustainable resource management
8
ONEPlanET models Part II: socio economic, climatic and environmental
System dynamics and its application in modelling Water-Energy-Food (WEF) systems, with a focus on basic concepts and examples.
Understand and Apply the ONEPlanET Modelling Toolkit
Learn how the WEF models within the ONEPlanET toolkit were developed, and how to navigate and apply the toolkit to explore resource interlinkages, assess trade-offs, and support decision-making.
Understand key challenges in data collection and processing, including working with geolocated and national datasets, downscaling techniques, and unit harmonisation.
The ONEPlanET Academy is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of researchers and practitioners with expertise in water, energy, food systems, and integrated modelling approaches, drawing on their experience from the ONEPlanET project and beyond.
