The Global Scenario Group was convened in 1995 by the
Tellus Institute and
Stockholm
Environment Institute to engage a distinguished and diverse
international group in an examination of the prospects for world
development in the twenty-first century. In the years since, numerous global,
regional, and national studies have relied on the GSG’s scenario
framework and quantitative analysis.
The Global Scenario Group synthesized its findings for a non-technical audience in: Great Transition: The Promise and Lure of the Times. The essay describes the historic roots, current dynamics, future perils, and alternative pathways for world development. It advances a Great Transition as the preferred route, identifying strategies, change agents, and values shifts for a new global agenda.
