The IFF World Model maps the factors essential for diagnosing interdependencies, based on some guiding principles:
- The factors are recognisable as relevant at all levels from individuals through communities to the global level;
- They cover key factors in environment and society that range from the living biosphere to the worldviews of people;
- They both highlight existing global/local issues as well as providing a framework for anticipating future issues;
- They avoid the usual categories like environment, economy, technology, politics and so on to help provoke fresh thinking.
Each factor is an umbrella for a cluster of related factors explained in detail in the scanning section of this site. The factors can be divided into four broad categories:
- Planetary Viability
- Resource Balance
- Human Stewardship
- Human Quality
