Tellus Institute’s Rich Rosen will be delivering a talk on the use of the Polestar model to analyze sustainable development scenarios at the 2014 international NEXUS conference, “Sustainability in the Food-Water-Energy.”
The Polestar System is a software tool designed by the Tellus Institute for integrated sustainability planning and long-range scenario analysis. Rather than a rigid model reflecting a particular approach to simulating socio-ecological systems, it offers a flexible and adaptable accounting framework for constructing a wide range of possible futures.
