The natural world is massively complex

The Atmospheric System The Oceanic System

The Crustal Plate System The Space-Weather System

The Ecological Sequestration Trust (TEST) and the

International Centre for Earth Simulation (ICES) cooperate to ensure that

City-Regional Models integrate all Earth-System Dynamics

Planetary Health Underpins Sustainable Development Goals and New Urban Agenda

Collaboration for transformation “A successful sustainable development agenda requires partnerships between central and local governments, the private sector, academia and faiths/civil society which put people and planet at the centre”

Future Cities Africa

World’s first demonstration of the functionality of the resilience.io prototype model through a sector application in Accra. The outputs highlight relevant resilient solutions and inform policy and/or planning decision-making, investment and links to SDGs.

Cities in Africa to become future proofed to climate, environment and natural resource challenges, so that they are inclusive and resilient, and have growing economies.

WASH resilience.io prototype requested● Model development

● Set of specifications – http://resilience.io ● 50 Process blocks developed that describe

input output, energy, material and labour● Computer modules built and tested

● ABM & RTN● Three Use cases developed with the GTG

to demonstrate functionality and benefits● Visualisations for decision support and

basic user interface

● Data● 200 plus data sets collected that describe

WASH in GAMA as well as socio-economic, GIS, process and technology.

MLGRD “helps to consider the complexities and difficulties faced in planning and implementation of WASH sector”Private Sector “Can use resilience.io to better evaluate resilient initiatives and work in PPP to deliver new infrastructure around GAMA”

using resilience.io

Very well received..MLGRD - Good tool in the development of the urban areas, we need such a model.

UoG - resilience.io prototype gives a faster and more accurate solutions for development (urban) planning

AMA - Is important to help in decision making and inform policy

Training - The model is very good, and can help us to improve and prioritise quality decisions in my Assembly

• 3 results workshops including live model runs– 97% think the resilience.io prototype is functional– 71% think resilience.io is suitable to inform policy/investment decision making (high degree)

• Training and installation session– 90% like to be involved in further development & 100% like to use as part of their role/institution

• High level debut event– It’s a great thing for GAMA, a great thing for Ghana, and I believe it will be a great thing for
