Our project Biosphere Futures
https://www.biospherefutures.net

is an open online database of #socialEcologicalScenarios cases from around the world

the database has over 100 cases that have been contributed scenario practitioners from around the world

A preprint describing the data base is here:
https://doi.org/10.31235/osf.io/v4ukj

we would love more scenarios, using more methods, from more places

Please contribute your work to connect to a community of #scenario practitioners.
