Description
This project report presents explorative policy and drivers scenarios based on foresight methodology developed and applied in the BIOCONSENT project (https://www.bioconsent.eu/). This inter- and trans-disciplinary research project aims to provide decision-making support for forest biodiversity conservation and restoration policy and management in Europe. A specific aim is to provide novel knowledge about trade-offs and synergies between policies, targets and management practices at the forest-biodiversity-climate-water nexus. In this report, a set of 15 scenario narratives (storylines) and their summaries (futures tables) are provided. Altogether, this report presents a set of three scenarios for the EU level and one set of three scenarios each for Bulgaria, Germany, Spain and Sweden.
