The first part of this document contains a series of personal reflections by leading academic experts on how environment, society, crime and economics may develop in the alternate futures. These thoughts, which are the personal views of the individuals and do not reflect government policy, may help you to consider the implications of the scenarios for you and your organisation. The second part presents a more detailed exploration of the methods used to develop both the scenarios and the systems mapping, or systems diagramming. These sections are intended more for the futures practitioner than the casual reader. There is also a more detailed description of how we identified the key drivers and trends that were used to explore alternate futures.
