Planned scenarios

Completed scenarios

No generic scenario pages have been completed yet.

Project-specific completed runs are now tracked under ../projects/index.md, beginning with P Project 2025 — Scenario 1.


Scenario matrix

Reading this table: rows = target scope, columns = tripartite constraint status.

With Tripartite Without Tripartite
N + P Baseline_NP No_tripartite
N only N_only N_only_no_tripartite
P only P_only (not planned yet)

Key derived numbers: - Baseline_NP − N_only = cost of P targets (with tripartite) - Baseline_NP − No_tripartite = cost of Tripartite Agreement (with both targets) - N_only − N_only_no_tripartite = cost of Tripartite Agreement (N targets only) - No_tripartite − N_only_no_tripartite = cost of P targets (without tripartite)


Future scenario ideas

Scenario idea Description Motivation
Cost curve N Run at multiple N target levels (e.g. 50%, 75%, 100% of VP3) Reveals marginal cost curve for N reduction
Cost curve P Run at multiple P target levels Marginal cost curve for P
Sensitivity: WL N effect Re-run Baseline with WL N=120/90/60 Test sensitivity to the Jan 2026 parameter change
Sensitivity: WL P effect Re-run with WL P effect restored How much does WL P=0 matter?
B target Add biodiversity target when B module is ready Biodiversity
C target Add climate target when C module is ready Climate
Spatial targeting Restrict measures to high P-loss fields (75th/90th percentile) Test commented-out x.UP scenario code
