Earth4All.jl

Repository of the Julia implementation of the Earth4All model using the WorldDynamics framework, based on the April 2023 Vensim version available here (a copy is also available in the vensim_source folder of the current repository).

How to run the model

Prerequisites

Install Julia and clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/worlddynamics/Earth4All.jl

Setting up the environment

After starting the Julia REPL in the repository folder, we can instantiate the environment by running

julia> using Pkg
julia> Pkg.activate(".")
julia> Pkg.instantiate()

We can then load the Earth4All module and run a scenario (e.g. "Too Little Too Late") with

julia> include("src/Earth4All.jl")
julia> sol = Earth4All.run_tltl_solution()

To obtain the plots of the main variables, we can run

julia> Earth4All.fig_baserun_tltl() # for the Too Little Too Late scenario
julia> Earth4All.fig_baserun_gl() # for the Giant Leap scenario

The plots should look like the two of the first line, instead the ones of the second line are produced with Vensim:
