Five scenarios for 2030




The British Think Tank “forum for the future” developed five future climate scenarios. The Think Tank involved around 70 experts reaching from economists, journalists and politicians to environmentalists and social scientists. All scenarios demonstrate different ways how humanity reacts to the climate change. They are called.

- Efficiency First
- Service Transformation
- Redefining Progress
- Environmental War Economy
- Protectionist World

The first three are giving hope and are quite positive. Scarce resources are protected, technology drives efficiency, services are offered by business rather than products and progress and personal success are being redefined. The last two draw a darker picture of a costly fight against the damaged nature and about scare resources.
