摘要: Scenario analysis facilitates a better understanding of future environmental change and is useful means to support regional planning that geared towards sustainable development. In particular if developed by close cooperation decision-makers scientists, scenarios help understand the consequences today's decisions in quite distant uncertain future. Scenarios describe range plausible futures an integrated manner, considering most important driving forces socio-environmental system interest. Ideally, they combine qualitative quantitative elements, i.e. narratives (storylines) with mathematical modeling. this paper, methodology develop described, considering, particular, issues participation scale. Examples for which explore impact climate on water resources irrigation requirements whole Mediterranean region are provided. Due high uncertainty precipitation changes computed global models, it not possible determine, river basin scale, how different greenhouse gas emission will translate requirements.
