We are pleased to share several recent developments and resources that may be of interest to the community:

  1. Preprint on New SSP Operationalization A preprint article has been released introducing a new operationalization of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) for 188 countries through 2150. This work covers a wide range of variables that are endogenous to the IFs model. Read the preprint: https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7104157/v1
  2. Contribution to the UN Global Risk Report The IFs model contributed to the recent UN Global Risk Report. Access the report: https://un-futureslab.org/project/un-global-risk-report/
  3. STAR Protocol Publication We recently published a STAR Protocol detailing how researchers can integrate their own exogenous projections into the IFs model. Read the protocol: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666166724005793
  4. Latest IFs Release The newest version of IFs, with a 2022 base year, is now available for download. Download the model: https://ifsfiles.du.edu/IFs%20with%20Pardee%208_52%20September%202%202025.zip
  5. New Model Visualization Tool We have developed a new interactive tool to better visualize and explore the structure of the IFs model. (Note: it may take some time to load.) Access the tool here: https://ifsnetworkdiagram.du.edu/?NND=~POP:3

WILIAM – Within Limits Integrated Assessment Model WILIAM

The WILIAM model (Within Limits Integrated Assessment Model) is a new IAM in the final stage of development within the H2020-LOCOMOTION project. WILIAM is a system dynamics developed model that has been designed based on MEDEAS models to address constraints in the field of IAMs. System dynamics allows capturing complex feedback loops and non-linear relationships between
