About the webinar
Climate change adaptation and greenhouse gas mitigation should ideally begin with a long-term planning process. Uncertainty about future social, economic, political and climatic changes, as well as the complexity of the systems they shape, make the formulation of effective and robust plans and policies challenging. The creation of scenarios based on future relevant drivers of change and uncertainties for the scope of these policies, led by key actors from multiple sectors, disciplines and geographic levels, allows working with this uncertainty and exploring alternative development pathways from a systemic approach.
This webinar discussed the importance of participatory scenario development as a basis for the formulation of effective climate change policies and presented Costa Rica's experience in the use of such scenarios for the design of its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC).
The webinar was conducted in Spanish. If you have any questions about this event, please contact the LEDS LAC Platform Secretariat: info@ledslac.org
