The International Committee On New Integrated Climate change assessment Scenarios (ICONICS) is pleased to announce ‘Launching the Scenario Evolution Process Webinar’ which took place on 12 February 2026.<\/p>\n

Shared\u00a0Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) have provided a widely adopted foundation for climate-centric research, yet their design\u00a0limits applicability in the\u00a0context\u00a0of\u00a0today\u2019s\u00a0interconnected global challenges.\u00a0To address these limitations, the International Committee on New Climate Change Assessment Scenarios (ICONICS) has started the Scenario Evolution Process (SEP)<\/a>: a community-led initiative to critically reassess, adapt, and potentially transform the SSPs\u00a0to\u00a0a more fit-for-purpose framework that\u00a0supports\u00a0research on resilient, equitable, and sustainable development and develop socioeconomic scenarios that have a applicability beyond the climate change domain.<\/p>\n

Speakers provided detail on the motivation, vision and process for the Scenario Evolution Process, with information on the concordant activities:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A multi-stage survey to both scenario producers, as well as users of scenario-based information. This engagement aims to broaden perspectives, incorporate feedback from a broad audience, and reduce Global North bias.<\/li>\n
  2. An academic literature exchange,\u00a0incorporating\u00a0recommendations\u00a0towards\u00a0an updated scenario framework.<\/li>\n
  3. A series of workshops to engage with a diverse range of communities<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
