International Futures

Initially created by Barry B. Hughes of the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver in Colorado,[1] the model is free for public use in both its online and downloadable forms.

[3] The International Futures model has also contributed to the United Nations Human Development Report[4] and the Global Environmental Outlook.

They include population, economic, agricultural, educational, energy, sociopolitical, international political, environmental, health, infrastructure and technology.

The help system that accompanies the software[7] provides an extensive overview of the model structure and computer code used to write the style.

[10] This portion of the software allows users to display the forecast results of their scenario analyses for different provinces, countries and groups across different issue areas.

[11] It is responsible for the further institutionalization of the software, training sessions, and the continued work on the Patterns of Potential Human Progress (PPHP) volumes.
