  • First What Works Climate Solutions Summit at TU Berlin: From 9-12 June, two researchers from the Resource Economics Group took part in the What Works – Climate Solutions Summit at TU Berlin. The conference was the first of its kind focusing on synthesizing evidence for effective and just climate solutions. On the second day, Klaus Eisenack and Lydia Finzel presented some of the current research of the Resource Economics Group at the Urban Typologies session. 18/07/2024

  • 7th International Research Workshop on Archetype Analysis in Sustainability Workshop for the first time overseas: This year’s 7th International Research Workshop on Archetype Analysis in Sustainability Research was held the first time outside of Europe at the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) in Washington DC, United States. The hybrid event took place from June 16th-18th. The two-day workshop was facilitated by the College of Agriculture, Urban Sustainability and Environmental Sciences (CAUSES). Thematically, at this year’s workshop a strong focus was on archetypes in urban areas with two full sessions. The emerging field of artificial intelligence (AI) research was covered by a topical discussion group about testing archetype analysis with artificial data. The workshop closed on Tuesday with a fieldtrip to the urban farms of CAUSES in Washington DC. 18/07/2024

  • Four researchers of the Resource Economics Group went to this year’s Workshop on the Ostrom Workshop (WOW7) in Bloomington, Indiana: After five years, the Workshop on the Ostrom Workshop (WOW7) was again held at Indiana University in Bloomington (IN) in the United States. For around 50 years, the Ostrom Workshop has been advancing and reflecting upon governance and institutional research. This is why this year’s conference theme Commons, Polycentricity, & Democracy: Building upon 50 years of Ostrom Governance Research has set the focus on challenges of effective governance due to a more complex and transboundary world. Presentations from our research group:“Dynamic archetype analysis in sustainability research at the session Archetype analysis in environment and natural resource governance” by Klaus Eisenack and “A computational text analysis approach to investigating public discourse and participation in the case of the 2022 Arizona legislative study committee on housing at the session Applying institutional analysis to study power and systems behavior in polycentricity” by Eve Castille 18/07/2024

  • A Multitude of Voices Game Session at Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften June 22, 2024: The Resource Economics Group hosted an engaging and enjoyable session at the "Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften", featuring the game "A Multitude of Voices." Held at the Humboldt Forum, this game was developed as part of the Participatory Game Design study project within the Integrated Natural Resource Management (INRM) program. The game aims to raise awareness about the complexity of climate change-related issues and the necessity for interdisciplinary approaches. Participants, including experts, scientists, and students, found the session interactive and informative. The game involves balancing personal targets for each role within the city with collective strategies to protect the city against the risk of flash floods. It also highlighted the crucial role of democracy in addressing climate challenges, providing valuable insights and inspiration for further exploration of collaborative solutions. 01/07/2024

  • Rapid game design workshop on water and climate change in cities: The workshop was hosted by the Resource Economics Group to explore game design as a transdisciplinary integration method. Facilitated by Bruce Lankford, and organized by students, the 40 participants (experts from public administration and civil society, scientists and students) developed five board games on flash floods in urban areas. The workshop is part of the CliWaC project and a study project in Integrated Natural Resource Management (INRM). 25/03/2024
