environmental scenario

Term

A plausible description of how the future may unfold based on 'if-then' propositions; usually a scenario is one of a set of alternative pathways. A typical environmental scenario includes a representation of the initial situation, an image of the future and a storyline that describes the key driving forces and the step-wise changes that lead to this image of the future. Note that scenarios are neither predictions nor forecast.
