The SSPs incorporate various assumptions regarding population, GDP and greenhouse gas emissions, for example, that are relevant to development and climate resilience. In addition, the SSPs have been used to explore a broad range of development outcomes for human and ecological systems , including multiple studies exploring futures for food systems, water resources, human health and income inequality. Limited, top-down modelling studies have used the SSPs to explore issues such as societal resilience  or gender equity . Such studies indicate that different development trajectories have different implications for future development outcomes, but results vary significantly among different climate ) and development contexts, resulting in limited agreement among different SSPs . Nevertheless, for some outcomes, SSPs are associated with generally similar outcomes. Over the near-term , those outcomes are strongly influenced by development inertia and path
