Susclime: A Simulation/Game on Population and Development in a Climate-Constrained World

National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, bert.vries{at}rivm.nl

The simulation/game SUSCLIME is introduced as a tool to explore long-termfutures. The model world of SUSCLIME is briefly described. It is a simple world with a goods-producing and a service-providing capital stock, the latter including consumption. There are two countries. The players of each country allocate the industrial output between these two stocks and three energy capital stocks: oil, renewable, or efficiency. The two countries can trade oil and make loans. The major goal is to go through the demographic transition by increasing the welfare per person and making the transition from oil to renewable energy. The latter is needed to avoid negative impacts on the economy due to rising C0₂ concentrations. Some illustrative outcomes and game experiences are discussed.

Key Words: climate change • development • economy • energy • environment • population • simulation/gaming
