Sorts and locations of uncertainty addressed

Scenario Analysis typically addresses ignorance, value-ladenness of choices (assumptions) and "what-if" questions (scenario uncertainty) with regard to both the context of the (environmental) system considered in the assessment and assumptions about the environmental processes involved. Furthermore Scenario Analysis addresses ignorance, value-ladenness of choices and scenario uncertainty associated with input data and driving forces used in models.
