The five scenarios are as follows:

A1F1 (Global/Economic) - describes a future world of rapid economic growth, with a global population that peaks in the mid 2000's and declines afterwards it follows a "business as usual" fossil fuel intensive future.
A1F1 (Global/Economic <i>fossil fuel intensive</i>) - describes a future world of rapid economic growth, with a global population that peaks in the mid 2000's and declines afterwards it follows a "business as usual" fossil fuel intensive future.

A2 (Local/Economic) - follows a more conservative economic world, where economic growth is more limited to smaller regions of the world. Technological change is slower in this storyline, while high fertility rates result in a booming population.
A2 (Local/Economic <i>a very heterogenic world with a focus on family values and local traditions</i>) - follows a more conservative economic world, where economic growth is more limited to smaller regions of the world. Technological change is slower in this storyline, while high fertility rates result in a booming population.

B1 (Global/Environmental) - assumes the same population growth as the A1 storyline. It differs in that it has less of a material intense society, and focuses more on clean and efficient technologies. It takes emphasis on global solutions to economic, social and environmental sustainability, but with no additional climate incentives.

B2 (Local/Environmental) - focuses on a society that looks for local solutions to economic, social, and environmental sustainability. It is a world with continuously increasing global population in accordance with the UN prediction, with intermediate levels of economic development, and less rapid technological change compared to the B1 and A1 storylines. It focuses on local and regional solutions to environmental protection and social equity.[1](https://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Emission_scenario)
