Simulation and Optimization

Advanced modeling tools for scenario planning

OSCAR's scenario-based Simulation and Optimization capability will incorporate OS-Climate's SoSTrades engine, enabling multiple agencies and partners to collaborate inside the tool environment in developing digital twins. for combined transition and physical scenario analysis to improve economic development planning and investment.

Advanced Scenario Modeling

Evaluate A/R options including hard infrastructure, nature-based solutions, regulations, incentives, and more. Assess trade-offs and set priorities through collaborative modeling and analysis.

Key Capabilities

Multi-Agency Collaboration

Enable multiple agencies and partners to work together within the same tool environment, sharing data and insights in real-time.

Scenario Analysis

Model different climate scenarios, policy options, and adaptation strategies to understand potential outcomes and trade-offs.

Optimization Algorithms

Advanced optimization algorithms help identify the most effective combinations of adaptation measures for specific contexts.

Economic Modeling

Model economic transition strategies across physical, economic, policy, technology, and resource scenarios.

Use Cases

Infrastructure Planning

Evaluate different infrastructure options for climate resilience, considering costs, benefits, and long-term sustainability.

Nature-Based Solutions

Model the effectiveness of nature-based solutions like green infrastructure, wetlands restoration, and urban forestry.

Policy Design

Test different policy approaches and regulatory frameworks to optimize climate adaptation outcomes.

Resource Allocation
