Additional Q&A sessions were held on 2 March and 5 March. See the entries above for details and recordings.

In this webinar, speakers outlined the motivation, vision, and process for the Scenario Evolution Process (SEP), including three connected activities:

• A multi-stage survey for both scenario producers and users of scenario-based information, designed to broaden perspectives, incorporate feedback from a wide audience, and reduce Global North bias.
• An academic literature exchange gathering recommendations toward an updated scenario framework.
• A series of workshops engaging with a diverse range of communities.

This launch marked the beginning of a multi-year, community-driven effort to develop more inclusive, policy-relevant socioeconomic scenarios for global climate and development research.

This website, hosted by the Pardee Institute for International Futures at the University of Denver, serves as a platform for coordinating key SEP activities, including an initial global survey that will inform subsequent workshops, academic contributions, and expert discussions. Visitors are invited to take the survey.
