A growing number of studies on the impacts of climate change and potential adaptation options are becoming available. However, they commonly fall short on integrating climate change impacts and adaptation options into development choices and priorities, as well as lacking proper descriptions of the influences that different development options might have on adaptation and adaptive capacities. Scenario development methodologies provide a useful way of exploring future development choices and pathways and the impacts of climate change and adaptation options, as well as the forms of policy or investment support needed to facilitate effective adaptation. They provide a means for policy makers and service providers to take into account local people’s priorities and knowledge in their decision-making.
