DECOIN The first EU project co-ordinated by the Finland Futures Research Centre

The DECOIN project deals with sustainable development indicators and inter-linkages, including synergies and trade-offs, between different unsustainable trends defined in the EU Sustainable Development Strategy.

The main objectives of the DECOIN project are: 

• to evaluate the existing methods and analytical frameworks in order to assess the progress towards sustainable development,
• to elaborate on forecasts and scenarios, and to identify inter-relationships between selected unsustainable trends in the EU, and
• to carry out a detailed analysis on the inter-relationships between selected unsustainable trends and to provide a prototype tool for the analysis and for forecasting.
