IkusaSA. Integrated Assessment for Sustainability

Abstract

Planning in the economic, population, energy, land and water domains can no longer occur in isolation. The challenge is to provide innovative ways to address the complexities of inter- and cross-sectoral planning. The IkusaSA project is a major effort to establish Integrated Assessment Modeling (IAM) in the country and aims to put in place, in the context of effective information sharing, the tools to support integrated planning in South Africa. This will be a first for the country.
