Background information on Shared Socioeconomic Pathways for use in MACSUR case studies

Katharina Braunmiller, Martin Köchy

Abstract


This document is intended to aid in the development of regional Representative Agricultural Pathways in Europe for use in MACSUR case studies, especially the regional pilot studies. We present overviews of existing characterisations of RCPs, SSPs, SPAs, RAPs and more detailed descriptions of the scenarios and assumptions relevant for MACSUR.
