The World’s Future SDG Simulation

Co-curricular initiatives for university students, University staff and processes

The World’s Future SDG Simulation

The World’s Future is an interactive educational simulation designed by IIASA and the Centre for Systems Solutions. SDSN Canada is training representatives from 10 member institutions to run the simulation and engage students, staff, and faculty across Canada.
