Imaginando colectivamente el futuro del Parque Nacional Sierra de Guadarrama y su contexto socio-ecológico

This report corresponds to ENVISION milestone 5.3., aiming to develop a workshop for participatory scenario planning to reflect on five possible future scenarios for the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park (Spain). The participatory scenario planning exercise involved a two-day online workshop with 45 participants, including decision-makers, researchers, local users, non-governmental organizations, and other social actors. On the basis of a common assessment of the current socio-ecological conditions and the factors driving change in recent years, they considered what could happen in the next twenty years. The stakeholders discussed whether and how the area might continue to contribute to the quality of life of those who currently enjoy the ecosystem services it provides. Further, by identifying the advantages and disadvantages of the envisioned future scenarios, who would lose or gain in the respective future scenarios was assessed. The stakeholders prioritized several strategies to realize their desired futures for the National Park.
