(Français) Impact du climat sur la santé : qu’est-ce qui nous attend et que peut-on faire ?
25 January 2024
More infoSTEEP (Sustainability, Transition, Environment, biophysical Economics and local Policies) is an interdisciplinary research team dedicated to systemic modeling and simulation of the interactions between environmental, economic and social factors. Our team articulates an analysis of socio-environmental issues in order to produce models that reflect them. The goal is to disseminate knowledge anchored in material realities, to guide decisions, to encourage cooperation by restoring confidence in our collective ability to radically transform our lifestyles.
Our missions
To develop participatory decision-making tools to support the actors of the territories in the implementation of this transition. Our research activities are divided into two related axes: one axis dealing with the modeling of global systemic risks and one axis dealing with the modeling of sociotechnical alternatives.
To inform as many people as possible on our research activities and global issues. For this purpose we carry out seminars, conferences as well as courses.
We also produce videos of our conferences or interviews.
