Milestones

The aim of this report is to detail the global Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs) narratives and their structure used to organise climate change assessments by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and how the SSPs can be used to inform research on Land Use Transformation in Scotland. The SSPs detail five possible future societal development pathways.

This is the State of Play Reference Document for the Land Use Transformations project (C3-JHI-1). This is an output of the start-up process for the project (April to June 2022) and presents a high-level summary accessible to “beyond-research” audiences. The start-up process was a series of project level workshops (see Section 2) building on off-line data collation tasks.
