IFs Model: Updates and Resources
We are pleased to share several recent developments and resources that may be of interest to the community:
- 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 - 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/ - 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 - 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 - 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.)
