Scenario Design and Stress Testing
Scenario Practice
Learn how to design defensible CE scenarios, build stress families, and interpret how scenario assumptions propagate into economic, climate, and integrated outputs.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the five fields that define a CE scenario envelope.
- Distinguish between a baseline scenario, a stress scenario, and a transition scenario.
- Design a plausible and internally consistent scenario for a target industry.
- Interpret how policy, energy, and trade assumptions propagate through CE outputs.
- Identify scenario design errors that produce misleading integrated forecasts.
