Climate
A climate change scenario is a hypothetical future based on a "set of key driving forces" behind climate change. Scenarios explore the long-term effectiveness of climate change mitigation and adaptation. Closely related to climate change scenarios are pathways, which are more concrete and action-oriented. However, in the literature, the terms scenarios and pathways are often used interchangeably.
