Looking at the UNEP Global Environment Outlook Report, GEO-4 :
The uses of modeling for analysing trends of the future.
by Prof. Barry Hughes
International Futures, University of Denver, Colorado, US
The complex interactions of economic and social changes over many decades of global
development require new systems of analysis to be able to simulate the possible impacts
of policy frameworks over the next decades. The International Futures system is one of
a new generation of computer-based simulation models, that attempts to reflect the
combined effect of hundreds of interrelated parameters, both as a teaching tool in
Universities, and as a basis for National and inter-nations simulations of economic and
social development trajectories.
