Climate and socio-economic scenarios for climate change research and assessment: reconciling the new with the old (2014, unknown): “The new scenario framework comprises two key elements (Kriegler et al. 2012; van Vuuren et al. 2012b, 2013): (1) Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), and (2) Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs).”
A new scenario framework for climate change research: the concept of shared socioeconomic pathways (2014, background): “…characteristics of an SSP, a number of possible elements have been discussed at meetings and workshops related to the scenario process (see also van Vuuren et al. 2012; Kriegler et al. 2012) that will interact with each other to produce development pathways and be relevant to defining challenges…”
Income projections for climate change research: A framework based on human capital dynamics (2017, background): “To the extent that they are a central determinant of adaptation and mitigation, income developments appear as a particularly important component of such projection exercises, as highlighted in Van Vuuren et al. (2014) and O’Neill et al. (2014) for the case of the recent Shared Socioeconomic Pathways”
Economic growth and development with low‐carbon energy (2017, methodology): “The same models are now being used to produce shared socioeconomic pathways–a series of consistent scenarios that can feed into climate models.(26,27) Most of these global models are too aggregate to reveal much about the decarbonization pathways of individual countries.”
The Shared Socioeconomic Pathways and their energy, land use, and greenhouse gas emissions implications: An overview (2017, methodology): “Based on two main initial proposals by Kriegler et al. (2012) and Van Vuuren et al. (2012), the design of the socioeconomic dimension of the scenario framework was also established (Ebi et al., 2014; Kriegler et al., 2014a; O ’ Neill et al., 2014; van Vuuren et al., 2014).”
Exploring the relationships between urbanization trends and climate change vulnerability (2015, methodology): “In addition, the new framework for the development and application of scenarios in integrated climate change research (van Vuuren et al. 2012; Kriegler et al. 2012; O’Neill et al. 2012) acknowledges that urbanization should be included and specified in the new set of reference storylines as one of…”
Constraints and potentials of future irrigation water availability on agricultural production under climate change (2013, methodology): “We calculated country-wide estimates of future water use (water withdrawals and consumption) in the manufacturing and domestic sectors based on socioeconomic projections following the Shared Socio-Economic Pathway 2 middle-of-the-road scenario [SSP Database (46)] (47).”
Effect of Fertility Policy Changes on the Population Structure and Economy of China: From the Perspective of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (2019, background): “They form a framework with the representative concentration pathways and thereby contribute to the sixth climate model intercomparison project (Moss et al., 2010; O'Neill et al., 2014; Riahi et al., 2017; Van Vuuren et al., 2014, 2012).”
Exploring SSP land-use dynamics using the IMAGE model: Regional and gridded scenarios of land-use change and land-based climate change mitigation (2018, unknown): “The SSPs can be combined with di ﬀ erent long-term mitigation targets based on the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) (Van Vuuren et al., 2011) to produce a scenario matrix that allows assessment of di ﬀ erent climate policy strategies (Van Vuuren et al., 2012).”
