CHOICE D3.1 Stakeholder workshops for co-design, review and use of the interactive simulation environments (ISE)

The Deliverable 3.1 report is a deliverable under Task 3.4, Developing Improved IAM Interfaces for Optimising User Engagement, within Work Package 3 of the CHOICE project. It focuses on the conceptual design and feedback from the evaluation workshop of the Interactive Simulation Environments (ISEs) for two Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs): the FABLE Calculator and the FeliX model. This is intended to complement Deliverable 3.2, which addresses the technical design and implementation of the ISEs. The report begins with an introduction to each IAM, outlining the conceptual design, which emphasises the motivation behind key data and visual design decisions. It then describes the structure and agenda of the ISE Evaluation Workshop, where each ISE was demonstrated, and user feedback was collected. The workshop included dedicated sessions for each tool, with participants asked to evaluate the ISEs based on three core dimensions: usefulness, accessibility, and engagement appeal. Feedback collected during the workshop is presented and analysed, highlighting user comments and suggestions for improvement across the two models. The report concludes by discussing the limitations of the workshop and challenges encountered during this phase of ISE development and outlines the next steps for advancing the FABLE Calculator and FeliX ISEs. https://www.climatechoice.eu/resources/
