Impact Assessment, Irreducible Uncertainty, and Scenario Development

Abstract

Scenario development is increasingly recognized as a potentially valuable technique in environmental impact assessment (EIA) processes, particularly in cases characterized by high levels of uncertainty. This paper explores past, present, and potential future applications for scenario techniques in EIA and related environmental planning and management processes. Barriers and constraints to increased use of scenarios are explored and possible solutions are proposed.
