“Fostering sustainable water resource policies in complex and uncertain futures with semi-qualitative systems analysis and serious games” was the titel of Janina Moschner’s talk about her work in Module B at the futuresconference2024 “Futures of Natural Resources” in Turku, Finland. Janina presented the #ZuWaKo project’s approach to policy-mix scenarios to the futures studies community. She went home with a good handful of inspiration as to how our approach to future water conflicts aligns with anticipatory studies, also reflecting the ZuWaKo serious gaming design.
