SynapsWorld

The key function of SynapsWorld, and indeed the very key to sustainable development, is the ability to identify the positively synergistic effects and the potential conflicts between and across, different issues. This function will ultimately facilitate the decision-making process to become more proactive with regards to sustainable development.

Since the world is constantly changing, SynapsWorld is flexible and adaptable to meet the different needs and conditions of those striving to work strategically with the whole concept of sustainable development. This is one of the many unique strengths of the tool.

The pedagogical method of SynapsWorld allows for continuous competency development and is therefore suitable for both beginners and professionals with a lot of experience working with tools and different models for sustainable development.

The approach SynapsWorld characterises is about recognising that environmental, social and economic issues mutually reinforce and depend upon each other. This approach facilitates an illumination and illustration of this complex interrelationship.

It is designed to facilitate the investigation of how different activities in various contexts may potentially affect society as a whole; positively, negatively, directly and indirectly. It accomplishes this by looking at parameters both temporal and spatial.

SynapsWorld is built upon international, national and regional political documents which all claim the need for approaches to facilitate integrating environmental issues with social and economic issues in order to achieve sustainable development.

SynapsWorld is a web tool and method designed to help you work with sustainable development in a simple, efficient and concrete way.
