The Forum on Scenarios for Climate and Societal Futures (Scenarios Forum 2025) is an influential multi-disciplinary conference organised by the Priestley Centre for Climate Futures and the University of Leeds, building on the successes of previous forums in Denver (2019) and IIASA (2022).
Dedicated to advancing the use of socioeconomic scenarios in addressing some of the most complex and interconnected challenges of our time, this year’s forum is particularly timely as we navigate an era defined by rapid environmental shifts, social upheavals, and global uncertainties.
Conference Themes
This year, we are expanding our horizons to explore the transformative potential of scenarios that address health, inform policy, and open up new possibilities for the future.
Hosting a sustainable conference
For the Scenarios Forum 2025, we are bringing together operational and research staff and students to collaborate to develop plans that trial new ways of aligning key elements of conference delivery with the latest evidence on climate and sustainability.
Take a look at highlights from the Scenarios Forum 2022
The 2022 Forum addressed the critical need for researchers from various disciplines to come together to share their experiences, progress, and plans.
It provided a means of promoting integration across the climate modeling, integrated assessment, and impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability communities, as well as with additional research communities in the social, natural, sustainability, economic and cultural sciences.
