Integrated assessment is a research area that aims to provide a holistic understanding of complex societal and environmental issues by integrating various disciplines, methods, and approaches. This interdisciplinary field helps researchers to analyze and evaluate the impacts of human activities on the environment, society, and economy, as well as to develop strategies for sustainable development and policy-making. Integrated assessment typically involves the participation of stakeholders from different sectors and levels of society to ensure that diverse perspectives and interests are taken into account in decision-making processes. This research area often uses models, scenario analysis, and other tools to support the integration of different types of information and knowledge in order to inform policymakers and stakeholders about the potential consequences of different courses of action.
