Use Case Description
A government office coordinating environmental stewardship and rural policy frameworks required a high-throughput foresight engine to track policy-relevant environmental change across the globe. Shaping Tomorrow supported this effort through persistent scanning of green innovation, ESG governance models, nature-based finance, and climate-aligned food policy. Results were coded using the PESTELO-M model and presented in visual dashboards that enabled the government office teams to identify cross-cutting system implications. The service contributed to updating the Global Megatrends 2024 publication and supported internal scenario development for climate planning.
