Shell has been developing possible visions of the future since the early 1970s, helping generations of Shell leaders, academics, governments and businesses to explore ways forward and make better decisions. Shell Scenarios ask “what if?” questions, encouraging leaders to consider events that may only be remote possibilities and stretch their thinking.
The sheer breadth and depth of perspective gained from our scenarios continues to inspire many successful partnerships and initiatives around the world, on individual country levels as well as regional and global.
We have been developing Scenarios within Shell for almost 50 years. They are plausible and challenging descriptions of the future landscape. They stretch our thinking and help us to make crucial choices in times of uncertainty and transitions as we grapple with tough energy and environmental issues.
