Abstract
The report provides background to current socio-economic and environmental conditions in Calakmul, in particular rainfall variability and hydrological aspects of the region. Appropriate understanding and representation of the climate vulnerability aspects of socio-ecological systems is crucial. A participatory scenario modelling method provides an innovative, interactive way of looking at the future to explore potential and proactive decisions. Thematic issues were developed from a compilation of 235 survey participants.
