The authors test if participation in a group system dynamics modeling exercise increases participants’ agency through a novel method to evaluate potential behavioral change using expectation measures. A water‐energy‐food nexus was mapped, and its evolution simulated by 46 participants in three interventions in a region undergoing hydropower infrastructure development in Northeastern Cambodia.
Participatory modeling updates expectations for individuals and groups, catalyzing behavior change and collective action in water‐energy‐food nexus governance
