Presentation 1: Climate Change Narratives
Don Morgan presented an optimistic and pessimistic scenario describing different types and magnitudes of climate‐induced change relevant to BC (see climate change narratives1). The scenarios were presented as historic summaries told from 50 years in the future. The optimistic scenario assumes that society has tackled climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and by adapting management strategies (across a range of sectors) to better cope with climate change. The pessimistic scenario assumes society has not addressed climate change. While the future cannot be accurately predicted, it is likely that mitigation (reducing CO2 emissions) and adaptation efforts will reduce the negative impacts of climate change to some extent as depicted in the optimistic scenario. At the broadest scale, forest managers must decide whether or not they wish to tackle climate change and contribute to the optimistic path.
