copan - Coevolution of human-environment systems in the Anthropocene

The copan project is a collaboration between the FutureLabs “Earth resilience in the Anthropocene” (RD1) and “Game theory and networks of interacting agents” (RD4). The research of the scientists involved focusses on understanding and modelling the Anthropocene, the tightly intertwined social-environmental planetary system that humanity now inhabits. To this end, copan follows a social-ecological complex systems approach that allows to address the effects and limitations of human agency and system-level effects of networks and complex coevolutionary dynamics in the World-Earth system.
