Following several calls for participation in environmental policy, an increasing attention is being dedicated to the development of deliberative platforms for the sustainable governance of our global village. In this paper, we start by adding perspective on the role of participatory modeling within a strong participatory vision for sustainability. We then explore how system dynamics and ecological economics worldviews interlock in promoting participatory modeling approaches to environmental decision-making. Focusing on the synergies between group model-building and mediated modeling, some lessons from two participatory interventions developed in Portugal are extracted. The evaluation of the case studies indicates positive outcomes at the individual and group level, with respect to learning, reaction, commitment, communication and consensus. The outcomes at the organizational level are still more limited. Further research is suggested on the comparison and complementarity between participatory modeling and other deliberative methods.
