AB The current Global Environmental Scenario landscape lacks transformative socio-ecological world futures thatprovide pathways of liberation for the ‘bottom billion’. Drawing on decolonial thought, we develop a set ofproposals for future scenario development. These proposals include participatory processes with subalternpopulation groups to facilitate scenario co-creation based on different ways of knowing the world; replacing fixedand ahistoric subjectivities driving global environmental and economic change with the agency of different socialgroups who might collectively be able to challenge the status quo of the world system; and creating visions andpathways that consistently address the colonial matrix of power by integrating decolonial environmental justiceinto scenario storylines. The outlined proposals pose significant challenges to conventional participatory andquantitative methods in the field of scenario research but also enable global environmental scenarios to betterfulfill their potential of shaping social imaginaries towards emancipatory futures for all human beings.
