Future climate changes may be experienced in a world that is socially and economically very different from the world in which we currently live. Socio-economic scenarios help us to explore what those future worlds might look like, and to consider how those socio-economic changes could alter our vulnerability to climate change and influence our adaptation responses.
This report aims to encourage the use of socio-economic scenarios in climate impacts and adaptation assessments studies by providing:
-
An explanation of why socio-economic scenarios are important for climate change impact and adaptation assessments;
-
Four national level socio-economic scenarios; and
-
Guidance on their application at a regional level.
