Title: Scenario Planning workshops for PNW Coastal Landscape Conservation Design
Abstract: The mission of the Pacific Northwest Coastal Conservation Blueprint is to achieve a network of healthy, connected, ecosystems and working landscapes capable of providing a full suite of ecosystem services that can absorb, respond, and adapt to climatic change and other key stressors through the use of collaborative, science-based strategies. Building from this effort (see www.columbiacoastblueprint.org) we will convene two 2-day Scenario Planning workshops to inform alternative scenarios useful to local planners. Scenario planning is becoming a well-established and valuable approach in adaptation planning, as it encourages organizations to think broadly about a suite of drivers that could shape the future. Scenario planning workshops typically explore uncertainties relating to a changing ecosystems, human development, large-scale stressors such as wildfire, budgets and funding, public support, local economic vitality, political developments and other factors. The process will provide a forum for all interested organizations to assess landscape change over the next few decades and also some specific ideas for collaboration between stakeholders, particularly between public and private lands..
