On the 16th of September, we co-organized, together with International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), a webinar about the Phusicos NBS simulation. Among the attendees were NBS practitioners and governance experts from the key institutions across Europe, including Ecologic Institute, the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC), Euromontana, and PHUSICOS project’s practitioners and site owners. 

The main goal for the webinar was to bring the topic of using simulations in the context of nature-based solutions and disaster risk management. 

First, Piotr Magnuszewski briefly introduced participants to the ideas behind serious games and social simulations.  Michalina Kułakowska followed Piotr with a demonstration of the PHUSICOS NBS simulation and info pack. The whole session was closed with a Q&A conducted by Michalina and Juliette Martin from International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis.

The PHUSICOS NBS simulation was designed by IIASA in cooperation with our team. The simulation was funded by the Horizon 20202 PHUSICOS project.
