Forum on Scenarios for Climate and Societal Futures

Hybrid Event | July 16–18, 2025 | University of Leeds, UK

Organized by the Priestley Centre for Climate Futures and the University of Leeds, this forum builds on the success of previous gatherings in Denver (2019) and at IIASA (2022).

Scenarios Forum 2025 aims to:

• Share experiences and innovations in scenario development and application
• Identify gaps in current knowledge and approaches
• Foster new interdisciplinary collaborations
• Explore the transformative potential of scenarios to inform policy, support health, guide equitable development, and advance sustainability

This year, contributions that challenge conventional boundaries, incorporate diverse perspectives, or open new directions in scenario work are more than welcome.

Over the three days, experts in the field of climate and societal scenarios will share their knowledge and insights on the transformative potential of scenarios that address not only climate but also health, biodiversity, equity and justice, cities and co-benefits to inform policy, and open up new possibilities for the future.
