Our research starts with questions that rarely fit within one sector, country, or time horizon. The projects below show how Pardee researchers and partners use data, models, and scenarios to examine change across connected systems.

The future cannot be reduced to a single path. But long-term trends can reveal patterns, constraints, and possibilities. Pardee uses integrated modeling, data-building, and scenario analysis to study how those trends interact, where uncertainty matters most, and how different assumptions may shape plausible outcomes.

We use “what if” questions to study how global systems may change and unfold over time under different assumptions. Our long-horizon, systems-based analysis helps users:

Together, these steps help turn uncertainty into a structured set of questions: What seems durable? What could change? Which assumptions matter most?

Building a more knowable future and sharing what we find is core to our mission. Explore recent news, events, and publications to see how Pardee’s research is being used across academic, policy, and public conversations.
