“…Interviews were done with the help of a student translator, information was recorded with notes, without voice recording nor transcriptions. The information was visualized by creating perception graphs (Döll et al 2013) (Fig. 2).…”

“…2). Perception graphs are directed graphs and a type of causal map that visualize the relationships between the actor's goals, the factors affecting the achievement of the goals and actions that impact the factors, and thus the goal achievement (Döll et al 2013). Perception graphs are suitable for eliciting and visualizing an actor's perception of a particular problem field and hence make it accessible to others.…”

“…Perception graphs are suitable for eliciting and visualizing an actor's perception of a particular problem field and hence make it accessible to others. Perception graphs were first developed together with the interview partner on paper and later aggregated to three combined perception graphs, one per country, using the software DANA (Döll et al 2013). These perceptions graphs were presented during workshop I to create a common knowledge base about the problem perception of stakeholders and local scientists.…”

How to set up a transdisciplinary research project in Central Asia: description and evaluation

While there has been significant progress regarding the research mode ''transdisciplinary research'' (TDR) on a theoretical level, case studies describing specific TDR processes and the applied methods are rare. The aim of this paper is to describe how the first phase (Phase A) of a TDR project can be carried out in practice and to evaluate its accomplishments and effectiveness. We describe and evaluate Phase A of a TDR project that is concerned with tipping points of riparian forests in Central Asia. We used a TDR framework with objectives for Phase A and selected a sequence of methods for transdisciplinary knowledge integration. Semi-structured expert interviews for eliciting problem perceptions prepared for two transdisciplinary workshops, in which perception graphs, interest-influence diagrams and stakeholder network analyses were applied in addition to discussions in the plenary and in break-out groups. Scientists and stakeholders achieved to jointly frame the real-world problem, formulate research objectives, design a framework for knowledge integration, build a TDR team and decide on specific research activities for the main project phase. TDR context, process and products were judged by workshop participants positively, with average ratings above 3 on a scale from 0 (worst) to 4 (best). Strengths of our particular TDR approach during Phase A were the direct contact (interviews and two workshops) with potential TDR participants and the ability to allocate sufficient time and money to Phase A due to the funded project pre-phase of 1 year. TDR in countries foreign to the scientists, as in our study, is hampered by language barriers as well as by a lack of familiarity with local conditions, in particular regarding stakeholder interrelations that cannot be simply overcome by a stakeholder analysis. We believe that the presented approach for setting up a TDR project can serve as a good basis for the design of other projects.

“…Integrated Assessment (IA) and Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) have been widely used to address complex environmental problems (e.g., Döll et al, 2013;Nordhaus, 2008Nordhaus, , 2017Akhtar et al, 2013;de Vos et al, 2013). IA/IAMs allow to integrate the knowledge from different disciplines and provide a consistent way for analyzing and exploring the consequences of environmental problems and the effects of different response actions (e.g., Füssel, 2010;Vedrenne et al, 2014;Hamilton et al, 2015;Kelly et al, 2013;Letcher et al, 2007).…”

Through stylized damage functions, Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) provide estimates of the economic costs that would occur for absolute changes in global temperature. In these damage functions, adaptation, sensitivity and their interactions are often combined in an intractable way. In this theoretical study we propose a new type of damage functions that allows mapping economic losses in terms of how extreme global temperature changes are in relation to a coping range representing the capacity of a system to deal with the climate conditions experienced at a particular period of time. In these new damage functions, which can be applied to the regional and global scales, adaptation to a changing climate is introduced by allowing the reference climate to be a function of time instead of a fixed quantity. Different formulations of damage functions discussed in the literature arise as special cases.

The shape of an energy project depends on the available technologies but also on stakeholders' decisions although most energy-support-decision tools only focus on technical issues. This article aims to propose a multi-actor modelling based on stakeholders' objectives and constraints and to apply it on the optimisation model generation tool OMEGAlpes. This modelling aims to help stakeholders to formalise their constraints and objectives and to negotiate them in a multi-stakeholders design process. Two types of stakeholders involved in urban renewable energy project have been highlighted: operators and infrastructure regulators. This modelling has been applied to a simplified collective selfconsumption project.
