Integrated environmental assessment and coastal futures

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Environmental Science ((ENVSCIENCE))

Abstract

This forward look analysis aims to shed light on a number of locally specific and more generic problems, which are likely to arise in European coastal and regional sea areas. The methodology deployed utilizes the DP-S-I-R scoping framework to identify significant environmental change driving pressures and their ecological economic and socio-political consequences. Future scenario analysis is then used to indicate the likely outcomes and policy options available, given the high degree of uncertainty present.
