Abstract
Climate change is a complex problem that impacts human lives. The 2018 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report highlighted that keeping global warming within the 1.5°C threshold would necessitate reaching net zero carbon emissions globally by 2050. Over the past 20 years, Adaptive Systems Engineering (ASE) methods have matured. They are now being deployed to tackle complex system problems, which can help mitigate climate change using technologies. This paper’s contributions are multifold. First, to the authors’ best knowledge, this is the first work to view climate change as a complex adaptive system (CAS) using ASE’s 3-factor modeling and adaptation framework. We formulate climate change as a large CAS by reviewing major climate change factors and the available options. Second, we look into power and heat sector, which is contributing to over 42% of the global CO2 emissions, per the 2023 International Energy Agency (IEA) report. We provide the ASE methods that can be used to produce the best adaptation paths to achieve a holistic approach to the energy system transition, maintaining the stability and adaptability of the power systems. Third, the paper provides a foundation to show that IEEE and INCOSE, as leading technical communities, can contribute to mitigate climate change, using system technologies, hand in hand with other diplomatic and management efforts in international organizations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
