Scenarios are different ‘what if?’ accounts of the future. Instead of being predictions, they help decision makers and researchers acknowledge future uncertainty and explore the dynamics of different but plausible future worlds.
This makes scenarios an excellent tool for policy guidance, as well as for investment and research in the public and private sector.
This webinar focuses on the construction of socioeconomic scenarios through backcasting and the use of these future contexts to guide policy and investments for agriculture, food security and climate change adaptation.
It also outlines the importance of scenarios for project developers in the definition of routes to follow in order to enhance their chances of a successful planning for the future.
Presenter: Marieke Veeger (@MariekeVeeger) is a geographer with a Bachelor in Development Studies and Master in Organization and Management of the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. She works in Costa Rica as Innovation Officer at the University of International Cooperation (UCI) and Scenarios Coordinator for a socioeconomic scenarios project of the research program for Climate Change Agriculture and Foodsecurity (CCAFS) of CGIAR and Future Earth that UCI implements together with CCAFS in Central America and the Andes.
