Global Scenarios

By the Numbers

The Global Scenario Group analyzed the scenarios in great detail. Quantitative simulations took account of the forces driving global change, critical uncertainties and stresses on social and environmental systems. For each scenario, economic, social, resource and environmental patterns were broken down by eleven world regions. The numbers are summarized in a selection of graphical highlights. Detailed results of the data are provided in scenario tables.
