Using the iSDG-Sweden model, this study evaluates degrowth policies in Sweden from 2026–2050. Results show that policies only work effectively when implemented together, combining reduced high-impact production, shorter working hours, and wealth redistribution. This package lowers environmental pressures while reducing poverty, inequality, and unemployment. While financially viable in the short term, long-term debt risks suggest deeper structural reforms may still be needed.

A research from Earth4All, utilizing the Millennium Institute iSD Model, shows the policy levers needed to ensure that the SDGs are met in Sub-Saharan Africa by 2100. The report ‘SDGs for All: Africa’ equips policymakers with practical solutions designed to accelerate SDG implementation and to respond to the planetary emergency. It concludes that policymakers can step up the implementation of the SDGs by 2030 and beyond and achieve wellbeing for all. But this is only possible by enacting five ‘extraordinary turnarounds’ that break with current trends.

To address the lack of analytical depth in current SDG reporting, this study proposes a comprehensive "third generation" assessment framework using Australia as a case study. By analyzing policy pathways, spillovers, and causal dynamics, the findings identify three key priorities: reversing social backsliding (poverty/health), leveraging the renewable energy transition, and managing future policy trade-offs. This methodology offers a transferable model for other nations to move beyond descriptive reporting toward integrated, forward-looking strategies, providing a robust foundation for the post-2030 sustainable development agenda.

This guidance document, developed by FAO, CIRAD, and GIZ, analyzes 16 foresight processes to explore how agroecology can support the transformation of food systems. It examines methodologies, scenarios, and stakeholder participation, emphasizing the political nature of transformation and the need for inclusive, systemic, and participatory approaches. The findings highlight the diversity of foresight methods, including modeling tools such as the iSDG, and provide recommendations to strengthen the integration of agroecology into foresight, offering decision-makers and practitioners pathways toward more sustainable food systems.

The Global Environment Outlook 7 (GEO-7) assesses global environmental trends and explores pathways for transformative change across development contexts. Millennium Institute contributed to Chapters 19 and 20, focusing on environmental challenges across income groups and a regional case study on green hydrogen. The report underscores the importance of context-sensitive and system-aware approaches to environmental policy.

A participatory System Dynamics study in Thailand and Lao PDR examined drivers and policy options for managing transboundary air pollution. Using an Integrated Air Pollution (IAP) model for Chiang Rai and Vientiane, stakeholders identified key emission sources and tested interventions. Projections showed major PM2.5 reductions from targeting waste burning, household cooking, and transport. The study demonstrated the value of participatory modeling for informing evidence-based air quality policies.
