“We model the swiss wood supply chain to identify pathways and leverage points that facilitate transitions towards mainstreaming wood construction.”

Theoretical frameworks are needed to understand how socio-environmental transitions towards wood construction for climate mitigation might be delivered. These frameworks will provide: (a) the leadership, coordination, and visioning to effectively integrate research activities across all Focus Groups; (b) a clear structure for engaging relevant societal actors; and (c) elaborated visions for research, engagement, and impact. We use a Theory of Change approach to map pathways to impact, and Systems Dynamics Modelling to resolve the structure, interactions, feedbacks, bottlenecks, and leverage points of the wood construction system from forests to cities.
