In this note, I explore how human-centered systems design can reshape the way we think about future technologies, consumption, and sustainability. As robots, synthetic foods, and transformative innovations enter our daily lives, we need frameworks that go beyond traditional models to imagine—and assess—their real impacts on society and the environment. This piece reflects on that challenge and sketches directions for integrating emerging technologies into integrated assessment modeling and sustainability narratives.

Background:

So:

Ideas:

Challenges: - Huge uncertainty. - No supply-demand curve available.


Can’t we see the change? Let’s see it together!

Don’t these technologies change how we produce and consume things?
Let’s put on our computational sustainability lenses!
The economy is impacted by climate change, and it is also impacted by the transformations we lead in adapting to climate change.


Artificial Taste!

Artificial Smell!
