5 Scenarios Background Strong participation with civil society stakeholders and political decision-makers of the regional government and national ministries Essential precondition for producing relevant and broadly acceptable project results Inputs for current planning and decision-making processes in the Santiago Metropolitan Region Likewise a necessary precondition for considering longer-term perspectives which are essential in the sustainable development context Approach represents an important distinctive feature compared to other projects on Megacity issues 5 October 3 rd, 2011 Peter Suppan

6 Framework Scenarios Scenarios based on storylines of societal driving factors ( until 2030) Economic development Institutional frameworks Demographics Technical development Societal value system Business-as-usual (BAU) Collective Responsibility (CR) Market Individualism (MI) Continuation of liberalisation and privatisation trends, persistence of strong market forces and weak public regulation activities, continuation of existing social protection measures and subsidy schemes for the poorest Characterised by social and environmental justice as principal goals of public regulation, strong regulation of market activities and large public investments, together with the embedding of technologies in society and decoupling of socioeconomic development from resource use Increasing individual freedom and freedom of action, markets as the dominant vehicle for all societal transactions, together with resources and services generation and distribution strongly subject to supply and demand principles. But also basic socioeconomic variables are estimated: GDP growth rate, population, household income, persons per household, share of economic branches 6 October 3 rd, 2011 Peter Suppan

21 Conclusions Scenario development needs multidisciplinary views and approaches Assessment of traffic emissions is a straight forward process Air quality modeling needs reliable input data Coupled micro-mesoscale modeling is needed to describe the air pollution levels for further analysis It is now understood that the battle against climate change will likely be won - or lost - in cities. However, research thus far has concentrated mostly at the sector (e.g. agriculture, water, energy) and national levels. Targeted research at the city level is needed to enable policy makers to understand the magnitude of the impacts and the alternatives to improve resilience of the cities (World Bank 2008) 21 October 3 rd, 2011 Peter Suppan
