EXERCISE 6

In small groups identify a set of themes and sub-themes for a scenario exercise in your
country. Build on the exercise in Section 6, where you selected an issue around which to
develop scenarios.
Abu Dhabi, UAE

Discuss these in plenary and agree on a list to be used by all groups in the following exercises.

Identifying targets

Purpose

To specify key targets and goals, including constraints or thresholds that are to be avoided.

Output(s)

An initial list of constraints, limits, goals and targets that will help define the scenarios.

Steps

In the context of the themes and policies to be considered, indicate specific targets. Some common
examples are meeting the Millennium Development Goals and keeping the maximum increase in
global average surface temperature below 2?C. Be clear whether these are intended to restrict the
scenarios to be considered or if they will simply provide benchmarks against which the scenarios will
be evaluated.

Identifying potential policies

Purpose
To specify the policies to be considered in the scenario exercise.

Within different scenarios, distinct opportunities and threats emerge. Society would respond to
those opportunities and threats in many ways, including through policy responses. Incorporating such
policy responses in the scenario exercise enables participants to anticipate and prepare for possible
eventualities.
