Futures under glass: A recipe for people who hate to predict
Abstract
The backcasting methodology is proposed for scenario analysis of changes over 20–100 years into the future. Backcasting can be applied to areas of human activity; here it is assumed that the method will be used to analyse environment and development problems at the national level as part of studies undertaken within the Human Dimensions of Global Change Program. Some indications are given as to how to integrate natural system considerations into the human system scenarios.
