International Futures (IFs) is an interactive tool for the exploration of the long-term future of closely interacting and dynamically hard-linked issue clusters, namely human development, social change, and environmental sustainability. Among other applications, because it includes a dense pattern of linkages across its models, IFs facilitates scenario analysis across a wide range of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Model concept, solver and details
International Futures (IFs) is a large-scale, long-term, integrated global modeling system.  The system is dynamic recursive with 1-year time steps through 2100.
IFs is a tool for thinking about long-term global trends and strategic planning for the future. Among the unique features of the system is the extensive integration of models across human capacity, social, and natural systems.  IFs contains highly integrated (hard-linked) models across demographic, economic, education, health, governance, agriculture, energy, infrastructure, water, climate and other subsystems for 186 countries interacting in the global system.  The central purpose of IFs is to facilitate exploration of global futures through alternative scenarios.

International Futures (IFs) is an interactive tool for the exploration of the long-term future of closely interacting and dynamically hard-linked issue clusters, namely human development, social change, and environmental sustainability. Among other applications, because it includes a dense pattern of linkages across its models, IFs facilitates scenario analysis across a wide range of the Sustainable Development Goals.
