The Frederick S. Pardee Institute for International Futures partnered with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to provide the futures modeling that underpins Leaving No One Behind: Impact of COVID-19 on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Using the International Futures (IFs) model, Pardee researchers analyzed multiple COVID-19 recovery scenarios to help policymakers understand the pandemic's long-term implications for sustainable development. The analysis showed that while COVID-19 threatened to widen global inequalities, strategic investments in governance, social protection, green development, and digitalization could help many countries recover and even exceed pre-pandemic development trajectories—demonstrating how long-range, evidence-based modeling can inform more resilient policy decisions.
