Sustainable Futures Research Laboratory

Research into sustainable futures is a vital component of sustainable development, simultaneously spanning economic, social and environmental issues. It draws on scientific knowledge from diverse disciplines to analyze policy-relevant real world problems.

Sustainable development requires long-term, comprehensive assessments of international and national policy programmes against sustainability targets and criteria. It also requires stakeholder consultation to protect cultural, Indigenous and aesthetic values. Due to the complex and value-laden process of accurately analysing policy issues, insights from emerging research need to be incorporated into strategic decision-making at a range of scales.

Through quantitative and qualitative studies using sustainability indicators, model-based systems, scenario analysis, simulation, institutional analysis and comparison, our research aims to produce analyses that are appropriate to the decision being considered.

The research being conducted in the Sustainable Futures Research Laboratory seeks to be interdisciplinary, international and applied.
