In this presentation I will describe briefly the work within The Group of Energy, Economy and Systems Dynamics (GEEDS) at the University of Valladolid and how system dynamics can help solve certain crucial questions for the socio-ecological transition. Integrated assessment models have the characteristics of including several sectors that interact with each other, system dynamics specifically include the mechanism of feedback loops among different sectors that will be shown in the presentation. The focus is mostly on energy, economy, demography, land-use, on the to analysis of the complex relations among them, and how they influence sustainability and development. In the talk, several examples will be shown, in particular the main models the members of the group are working on, what we can learn by modelling a complex system and the limitations of the models.
