Systems mapping for policy analysis

In this talk, Dr. Pete Barbrook-Johnson will introduce systems mapping and consider its use for policy analysis in energy and environmental domains. Pete will begin by introducing a range of systems mapping methods, making clear their differences, and explaining how they can add value to projects. He will then describe examples of systems mapping being used in applied environmental and energy projects with government. For more background on systems mapping please see Pete’s book.
