! High
| SSP5: Fossil-fuelled development
* low population
* very high economic growth per capita
* high human development
* high technological progress
* ample fossil fuel resources
* very resource intensive lifestyles
* high energy and food demand per capita
* economic convergence and global cooperation

|
| SSP3: Regional rivalry
* high population
* low economic growth per capita
* low human development
* low technological progress
* resource-intensive lifestyles
* resource-constrained energy and food demand per capita
* focus on regional food and energy security
* regionalization and lack of global cooperation

|-
! Medium
|
| SSP2: Middle of the road
* medium population
* medium and uneven economic growth
* medium and uneven human development
* medium and uneven technological progress
* resource-intensive lifestyles
* medium and uneven energy and food demand per capita
* limited global cooperation and economic convergence

|-
! Low
| SSP1: Sustainable development
* low population
* high economic growth per capita
* high human development
* high technological progress
* environmentally oriented technological and behavioural change
* resource-efficient lifestyles
* low energy and food demand per capita
* economic convergence and global cooperation

|
| SSP4: Inequality
* Medium to high population
* Unequal low to medium economic growth per capita
* low to medium human development
* unequal technological progress: high in globalized
* high-tech sectors, slow in domestic sectors
* unequal lifestyles and energy /food consumption: resource intensity depending on income
* Globally connected elite, disconnected domestic work forces
