change, prices) and relationships . Scenarios are neither predictions nor forecasts but rather 'foresights', which imply envisioning challenging futures . Scenarios are used to provide a view of the potential consequences and implications of developments and actions in a 'what-if' mode of exploring the future .

Climate change scenarios are generated by climate modellers to highlight possible alternative GHG emission pathways and are used to develop and integrate projections of emissions and their climate change impacts and for analysing and contrasting climate policy choices. Cross-Chapter Box CLIMATE in Chapter 1 describes scenarios used in this report.
