WHERE SHALL WE GO TO?

Key questions:

• How could a desired long-term vision of sustainability for each activity/policy field look like, considering essentials of environmental, economic and social development?

• Which essential elements of sustainability that are integral part of the vision can be defined for the purpose of developing sustainability scenarios?

• How can current policy objectives of topic complexes (WP1) be translated to match with the objectives sustainability scenario?

HOW DO WE GET THERE?

Key questions:

• Which requirements and potential measures can be described that are deemed promisimg to reach the defined sustainability scenario (pre-backcasting)?

• Which measures address activities or driving forces that show cross-sectoral impact and hence are potentially of multi-beneficial effect without shifting problems?
