THE WORLD’S FUTURE – A Sustainable Development Goals Game
IIASA was founded in 1972 and aimed at bridging the west and east through science while political institutions and nations
were divided by cold war.
IIASA international institute focusing on systems research, science to policy and global science diplomacy around
climate change, sustainable development, including e.g. large energy transitions as well as community resilience.
The World’s Future Game was developed in the course of the
Systems Thinking for Transformation project and in collaboration with the Center for System Solutions.
The aim of the project is to promote ST not only in science and
research but to promote and better understand Systems Thinking as a critical and core 21 century competence. Targeting young actors in society, next generation decision
makers, as well as policy makers of today.
Games policy makers that should play
Games? Seriously?
Hell yeah!!!

Can playing this game affect policy with regard to Nexus challenges?
Definitely; by involving policy makers to participate and realize the consequences of decisions made!
Yes, as an eye-opener for people in the 3 sectors as well as for people outside the sectors; highlighting the need for multipurpose development of water resources.
The game clearly demonstrates the benefits of coordination in country and also working across borders. Water allocation and water resources management should involve all players.

Deepen understanding of the complexities of the global system
Identify and acknowledge interdependencies of actions in pursuit of the goals across policies, regions and time.
Better understand synergies, trade-offs, and feedbacks, as pursuing some goals and targets might undermine the
achievement of others.
Reflect on negotiations patterns, effective communication and collaboration.
THE WORLD’S FUTURE – A Sustainable Development Goals Game
“It was entertaining and fun!” “One key take-away for me was the need to better understand what are real incentives stakeholders to implement change in their industries.” “I better understood the dynamics of decision making across the roles within a systems, the reinforced interconnectedness of decisions/policies as well as the adaptive nature of systems.” “I got much clearer insight that policy making is actually messy based on imperfect understanding of the system and incentives and on imperfect information of what others are doing. That said, a common understanding of the goals (i.e. SDGs) can help align actions and achieve greater coherence & better outcomes”
THE WORLD’S FUTURE – A Sustainable Development Goals Game
Participant ideas for expanding the game • More time for negotiations and fleshing out SDG interactions
• Include aspects of the “political economy”, i.e. elections and other pressures on decision-makers
• Include aspects of financial industry
• Allow for changes in governance rules and structures
