|Description=When considering how the world might unfold in the longer term, six key scenario drivers are distinguished: demographics, economics, culture and lifestyle, natural resources, technological development and the policy and governance environment. To a large degree these scenario drivers are interdependent, and their future direction is often inferred from a simple to very elaborate ‘storyline’ or narrative. Such storylines describe the type and function of the scenario at hand: a reference projection with no new policies, a single ‘best-guess’ projection combining trends from the past with assumptions about how they might unfold in the future, multiple contrasting scenarios that span a range of uncertainty about the future, or a specific or broad policy scenario aiming to improve future outcomes. For examples, see (Ten Brink et al., 2010; OECD, 2008a; OECD, 2012; UNEP, 2011; Westhoek et al., 2011) | |Reference=Ten Br | ||
