Sumario:The thesis aims to critically assess the current literature on Global Environmental Scenarios (GES) and to develop a novel set of GES based on the insights gained through a thorough analysis of biases and assumptions in different existing GES. It focuses particularly on how GES reproduce power dynamics embedded in global economic, political, and cultural structures, and how they envision changes in these structures. The latter are closely related to questioning and problematizing notions of continuous economic growth, and the construction of global post-growth futures. The thesis consists of four logically and structurally linked scientific papers.
