DAFNE Negotiation Simulation Lab Approach & Tools
0 likes813 views
The DAFNE project focuses on a decision analytic framework to examine the water-energy-food nexus in rapidly developing countries, funded by the EU's Horizon 2020 program. It facilitates stakeholder engagement through negotiation simulations, allowing diverse perspectives on resource management and evaluating potential solutions. Tools like geo-info modeling and multi-perspective visual analysis are employed to analyze impacts, trade-offs, and sustainable pathways for resource management.

- 3. Investigating the WEF Nexus in the DAFNE Negotiation Simulation Lab (NSL) • “Safe place” for stakeholders to express, discuss and better understand different perspectives • To identify potential solution pathways to sustainable resource management in the basins à shared benefits • To analyse: what works, what doesn’t & why, what could be done differently. Actor analysis identifies stakeholders • Wide range, different sectors • Different interests, roles, levels • Includes: environment (ecosystem services), tourism, cultural heritage… 3
