Objectives
Backcasting allows a group of people to weigh up the implications of different future options or policy goals.
Method
- Define future goals and objectives, projecting 25-50 years into the future.
- Specify the scenario by analysing the technological and physical characteristics of a path that would lead towards the specified goals.
- Evaluate the scenario in terms of physical, technological and socio-economic feasibility and policy implications.
- Brainstorm ways this desired end-point can be achieved, working backwards to the present.
Example
Guadalentı´n (Spain) and the Vald’Agri (Italy) workshops about the developing of local scenarios [1].
