Developing CLEWs model workflows for coherent policy support in Guyana and Suriname

This project will develop policy-relevant modelling techniques for the Climate, Land, Energy and Water systems (CLEWs) framework. CLEWs modelling is used by governments to develop coherent policy that considers nexus interactions. The intern will develop techniques for representing land use and water interactions into the CLEWs modelling framework and develop workflows to make the development of CLEWs models more efficient. Using Guyana and Suriname as case studies, the CLEWs framework will be applied to develop policy insights around the trade-offs and co-benefits of nexus sustainability challenges. Catalyste+ will benefit from integrating nexus considerations in their development work in Guyana and Suriname.
