System Dynamics
“I think System Dynamics is the ABC
of understanding the world”
Kate Raworth
“There is a property of systems that can be our greatest aid in our goal of creating change. Unfortunately, it can also be the biggest threat in our goal to protecting a stable climate. It’s called reinforcing feedback“
Climate Interactive
