The document discusses scenario development as a structured approach to assessing uncertain futures. Scenarios are not predictions or forecasts, but rather plausible descriptions of how the future may develop based on logical assumptions and alternative choices. There are different types of scenarios that can be qualitative or quantitative, developed through various methods over different time horizons and frames. Successful scenario analyses use appropriate qualitative and quantitative approaches, combine scientific rigor with creative thinking, and are tailored to meet specific goals. The document then poses questions about regional scenarios for agriculture and food security under climate change and outlines potential outputs including coherent regional scenarios and engagement of stakeholders.
