+|Summary=The SRES scenarios were constructed to explore future developments in the global environment with special reference to the production of greenhouse gases and aerosol precursor emissions.
+|KeyReference=IPCC, 2000;
+|Description=They use the following terminology:
+*Storyline: a narrative description of a scenario (or a family of scenarios), highlighting the main scenario characteristics and dynamics, and the relationships between key driving forces.
+*Scenario: projections of a potential future, based on a clear logic and a quantified storyline.
+*Scenario family: one or more scenarios that have the same demographic, politico-societal, economic and technological storyline.
+The SRES team defined four narrative storylines, labelled A1, A2, B1 and B2, describing the relationships between the forces driving greenhouse gas and aerosol emissions and their evolution during the 21st century for large world regions and globally . Each storyline represents different demographic, social, economic, technological, and environmental developments that diverge in increasingly irreversible ways.
