The authors call for action from the System Dynamics (SD) community to address global polycrisis and leverage SD’s strengths in modelling complexity, feedback loops, and nonlinear dynamics. They emphasize five key features of the SD approach and community that uniquely position it to contribute to polycrisis analysis: endogenous point of view, scenario analysis, interdisciplinary collaboration, decision-support tools, and identifying leverage points for system recovery.
The polycrisis is here, and system dynamics can help: a call to action
