During October and November an International Virtual Seminar will be held about the contributions for the design of exploratory and normative scenarios
Through a cycle of virtual conferences, the project “Living and Producing in the Chaco Forest” aims to reflect on how to think and collectively plan the future of the Chaco region, and the possibility of designing a sustainable future. It also seeks to present advances in the development of scenarios on land use changes in the region, and their probable modifications for the years 2015, 2030 and 2050.
This cycle of conferences also hopes to mobilise approaches, methods and tools that will allow us to think about multiple and possible futures that will contribute to the strengthening and development of public policies. Toward this end, social, political, and economic aspects will be analysed.
The presentations of the experts and the members of the project team will be made through a series of 5 virtual conferences. They will analyse the social and climate challenges that are currently being faced and propose effective solutions for sustainable development.
