This paper, which we present at Energy 2023, explores the interconnectedness of complex systems, focusing on the economy and the natural world, and the challenges posed by climate change. It emphasises the need for systems thinking and Systems Engineering (SE) to understand and effectively manage these complexities. SE offers valuable insights by considering the emergent properties of whole systems rather than individual components, enabling modelling, prediction, management, and problem-solving. The integration of modern software tools, including digital engineering and artificial intelligence, enhances SE capabilities, resulting in improved quality, reduced errors, and addressing skills shortages.

You may be interested in our e-book, which is a available on Amazon for a reduce price (less than $1) for the period of the Energy 2023 conference. It provides a comprehensive and accessible guide to understanding the principles of systems thinking and systems engineering. The book delves into the concept of a 'system', explaining how the properties of the whole can emerge from the properties of its parts, and how this principle applies to both physical and non-physical entities.
