Faced with risk and uncertainty, environmental policy-makers are increasingly using scenario planning to guide decision?making. The vibrancy of the field is evident in the numerous case studies conducted using diverse methodologies.Yet even well?crafted scenarios can fail to have their intended policy impact if they present irrelevant information, lack support from relevant actors, are poorly embedded into relevant organisations or ignore key institutional context conditions. Unfortunately, the shortage of research on scenario planning and its influence means that there is limited guidance on how to optimise scenarios, in terms of both outputs and uptake by policy-makers.This technical report addresses this lack of information, presenting a review of relevant academic and non?academic literature on the issue.
