The Finland Futures Research Centre has a strong history as a pioneer in multidisciplinary environmental research and consultation. In our research projects, we have particularly concentrated on the modelling of sustainable development in addition to the development of indicators.
In connection with sustainable development, we have carried out many energy and climate studies. The goal of this research is to attempt to model changes occurring in development as well as identify factors which cause these changes. Background factors of change can be clarified with, e.g., the ASA tool, which has been developed at the Finland Futures Research Centre.
Our special areas of know-how are anticipation in:
- the development of environmental indicators,
- modelling in sustainable development and
- energy- and climate-related research.
We carry out collaboration not only with the public sector but also with firms and top-level international research facilities in the field. The research group is made up of a comprehensive group of engineers, economists and sociologists.
