Session
Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) are scientific models which enable the evaluation of the social and economic impact of environmental policies. WorldDynamics.jl is an open-source package that allows the development and reproduction of modern and historical IAMs in Julia. In this workshop, we demonstrate the main functionalities of the package while guiding the audience with comprehensive hands-on examples.
