Modelling Tools for Sustainable Development

UN-DESA and UNDP have developed five quantitative modelling tools to help countries assess sustainable development policy options.

1. The Climate, Land-use, Energy and Water Systems analysis and model (CLEWS)
2. Economy-wide models
3. Socioeconomic microsimulations
4. Energy systems models
5. Geo-spatial electrification access modelling

The tools use, to the extent possible, open source software and state-of-the-art knowledge. Continuous development and improvement, backed by a global community of experts, spurs innovation and overcomes challenges.
