'Goals, Measurements and #SystemsThinking' is a recent article I've written. It looks at setting goals, choosing indicators,incl. how goals erode,measurements are gamed/how they game us and how policy backfire happens. Instances from #climateaction, #policy and more are tied in

[Kabir Sharma @K5abir]

And all from a Systems Thinking Perspective. Read it here: https://t.co/IjhD628oxw. Would love to hear your thoughts. #systemsthinking #systemdynamics #goals #indicators #publicpolicy

सुनने में तो बस इतना ही आया है कि सरकार ने 100 दिन को 125 दिन कर दिया है…
लेकिन क्या सच में बस यही बदलाव है?

इस बातचीत में निखिल डे बता रहे हैं वो बातें जो MGNREGA को लेकर लोगों तक पहुँची ही नहीं हैं जो चुपचाप बदली जा रही हैं, और जिनका असर सीधे मज़दूरों और महिलाओं पर पड़ेगा।

Really happy that this paper is out. Work we did with @atree_org in the Banni grasslands, where we co-created a #systemdynamics #simulation model of the social-ecological dynamics using a participatory process involving the community.

[ATREE @atree_org]

Through participatory system dynamics modeling, researchers working with the Maldhari community were able to explore various management scenarios (e.g., full restoration, partial restoration and climate extremes). The model runs reveal that there is no single solution towards restoring the land and improving income for all because the system is a highly coupled human and natural system, and changing one element has cascading consequences on other elements.

[Kabir Sharma @K5abir]

Scenarios of different land management decisions pertaining to #invasivespecies in context of #climatechange were simulated, highlighting both intended and #unintendedconsequences. The model was taken back to the community in the form of a visually rich mobile app available in

Happy to share an article I wrote on the imperative of enhancing #climateadaptation in India&why it must be seen as a strategic priority by the public sector.I share thoughts on themes a 'Mission Adaptation' could support to enable locally-relevant adaptation solutions to emerge.

Amazing!

Participatory #systemsthinking to understand perspectives of a farmer federation on climate change and #climateadaptation to #cocreate solutions. Under the cool shade of an Imli tree. A wonderful experience. Very grateful for the opportunity @cinicell #WorldEnvironmentDay

Happy to share an article I wrote on climate adaptation funding in India, making a case for adaptation to be viewed as a strategic imperative. (1/2)

Brazil are playing just now. That means there’s no better time to talk about the Brazilian midfielder who moved to Italy so that he could “read Gramsci in the original language and study the history of the workers' movement."

#ClimateEmergency | The climate crisis cannot be thought of solely as a mitigation problem or an adaptation issue—neither can its solutions. Here's why we must understand the interplay between the two.

In which @Mihir53 and I reflect on our work @DESTA_Research to write about how and why climate change mitigation and adaptation can sometimes to be at odds with each other. And why it is imperative that we look at these not as separated goals, but in ways that enhance each other.
