Abstract

In this chapter we describe general characteristics of energy-economy- environment scenarios. We characterize three groups of scenarios (high-impact, mitigation, and sustainable-development). We then characterize SD scenarios in more detail by comparing ranges of key variables (driving forces and results) of SD scenarios with ranges of the same variables chosen from the IPCC-SRES database of scenarios.
