Job Description

Project description

This PhD project will explore how Artificial Intelligence, in particular AI-based simulations, data-driven modelling, and generative systems, can support policymakers in addressing climate change by developing and testing human-centered climate risk scenarios and narratives. The aim is to investigate how computational and AI-driven tools can help design strategies that are both evidence-based and publicly accessible, bridging the gap between complex scientific knowledge and societal decision-making. 

Key aspects include: 

  • Applying AI-based simulations, computational modelling, and/or data-driven analysis to assess the impact of different climate policy pathways. 
  • Developing interactive AI-based narratives that communicate climate risks in ways that resonate with diverse audiences, using participatory human-centered methods. 
  • Supporting policymakers in designing strategies that combine technical and scientific robustness ...
