Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions

Abstract

The focus of TSP is the development, dissemination and use of a set of three or four scenarios (structured narratives or stories) about what is possible. These scenarios provide a shared framework and language for strategic conversations within and across stakeholder groups about the situation they are part of, and what actions they can, must, and will take to address it. TSP thereby offers a way for social systems to get unstuck and to move forward.
