📢 Two extended abstracts accepted at WEHIA 2025 Conference 🎉

The special session, titled “Climate Lobbying and Dynamics of Opinions”, will focus on the insights that the agent-based models can highlight about the lobbying around topics related to climate change. The session will feature two contributions from the ALMONDO research community and another from external collaborators.

🛠 First extended Abstract Title

“A survey experiment on Climate Change Beliefs”

In this work our research fellow of the SSSA unit, Leonardo Ciambezi, will show the results of the survey experiment about social media influence on climate change belief, conducted within our ALMONDO project.

🛠 Second extended Abstract Title

“Navigating the Climate Lobbying Landscape: Insights from Opinion Dynamics”

A second work will be presented by our Lecturer in Business Analytics & Innovation Lilit Popoyan. In this work, we develop an agent-based model for opinion dynamics to study the interplay between lobbying strategies, public belief formation, and the resulting policy implications.
