Abstract:
Project Nirman by SAATH, a Gujarat-based NGO, aimed at empowering and training migrated workmen as masons, carpenters and electricians as per industry requirements. The project was funded by Bosch India Foundation. Although all aspects of the pilot project were successfully tested for sustainability, continuous funding remained a challenge. The project’s protagonist wanted to upscale operations but was facing a dilemma. While exploring options for sustainability on a continuum of dependency to complete self-sufficiency, the protagonist became increasingly aware of roles and identities of each partner in such alliances. Some peripheral dilemmas like challenges in identifying a socially relevant project, upscaling the pilot project, identifying team capabilities for growth and need for value integration by different stakeholders for desired growth were noted. This case closes by questioning on how strategic alliances should be made so that the four partners — government, community, Non-government Organization and corporate — learn to coexist with mutual respect.

Abstract:
The discipline of project management has evolved over the years, yet projects still run into trouble, failing entirely, running late, or not delivering expected benefits. Program and portfolio managers need assistance identifying potentially troubled projects while they are being delivered, allowing time to intervene. We report on our investigation of whether project status reports from IT project portfolios can be used to predict projects that may be trending into trouble ahead of time. We found that this initial approach resulted in a high degree of accurate predictions opening new avenues of research in predicting project progress and health.

Abstract:
It is now widely recognized that the availability of physical, technical and financial resources is not a sufficient condition for successful socioeconomic development. The strengths and weaknesses of institutions as well as behavioral factors play a significant role in determining the nature and pace of the development process. The link between project performance and institutional development has been increasingly evident in development projects financed solely by national governments or with assistance from bilateral and multilateral agencies. It has been generally noted that many failures in development projects are not only due to production or technological inadequacies but also to institutional deficiencies, largely because self-sustaining capacity to implement projects is not given due emphasis at the time of project formulation. Studies of rural development in Asia have confirmed that inadequacies in the institutional framework have hindered the effective implementation of rural development programs…

Abstract:
AHEAD (Adventures in Health, Education, and Agricultural Development) is a small grass-roots non-governmental organization working in the rural Meatu, District in Northern Tanzania. The AHEAD project employs Tanzanian nurses who provide health education, child weighing and nutritional counseling, family planning, and antenatal services. AHEAD has recently developed a water quality testing initiative in order to combat unsafe water supplies using solar pasteurization. Dr. Robert Metcalf, an AHEAD volunteer offers â expertiseâ to Meatu through transfer of solar cooking technology. Each summer, AHEAD takes volunteers into this setting who bring with them both â altruisticâ and non-altruistic reasons for volunteering, economic and social capital, and a taste of the world beyond Meatu. This thesis looks at the Summer 2001 AHEAD experience ethnographically from three perspectives: 1) as public health practice, 2) in relation to the contested domain of international â developmentâ , and 3) situated within the larger literature of non-profit and volunteer action research. These three snapshots of AHEAD suggest a project of globalization, theorized as the flow of people, goods, and information across boundaries.

Abstract:
Problematization: Pilot projects are highlighted as a useful tool in risk management. However, because there has been a perception that the data produced by them does not have academic validity and that there is a tendency for bias among publishers of scientific articles, the current research on pilot projects is limited. Several researchers believe that the current knowledge situation is not sufficient. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to map out a pilot project in its context, the main project, to understand how it is used as a risk management tool on the basis of conditions, preparation and implementation. Method: A case study has been made through a qualitative strategy, abductive approach and an iterative process. Based on an exploratory approach, the study has mapped the case company through five semi-structured interviews and document studies, to achieve the purpose of the study. Conclusion: The study's results show that the case company's choice of method for designing a pilot project works well by meeting the critical success factors for projects and based on the conditions they had. However, the method is not flawless or universal, it is adapted for risks that cannot be avoided and must be managed and accepted. We also propose that when using pilot projects it should be integrated into the main project's risk management process. Further expansion of the current theory for pilot projects is still necessary.

Abstract:
AbstractWith schools and educational centers around the country moving from in-person to emergency remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, education faces an unprecedented crisis (Hodges et al., Educause Review 27, 2020). This case study presents the efforts and impact of Full STEAM Ahead (FSA) launched by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in response to the pandemic to support remote collaborative learning for K-12 learners, parents, and educators. We present two FSA initiatives: (1) weekly themed packages with developmentally appropriate activities for K-12 remote learning and (2) Full STEAM Ahead Into Summer (FSAIS), an online summer program for middle school Massachusetts students, specifically targeting students who are at risk for “COVID Slide.” (Institute-wide Task Force on the Future of MIT Education-Final Report: http://web.mit.edu/future-report/TaskForceFinal_July28.pdf?) Our operative theory of change is that we can improve K-12 remote collaborative learning experiences through developing and sharing a curriculum that exemplifies the minds-on and hands-on approach advocated by MIT, strategically leveraging existing structures and projects within MIT, and establishing partnerships with the local and international community. We gauge the effect of these efforts on contributing members of the MIT community and targeted learners by analyzing data gathered through participant surveys and artifacts such as the website, packages, modules, and student projects created during the summer programs. Our findings indicate that existing structures and resources – with community building – facilitated the achievement of our goal to develop and distribute problem-based learning activities and that interaction and community building were central in meeting those goals. This work contributes to the knowledge base regarding emergency online learning and the development of effective university outreach efforts.

AbstractIn this chapter, we revise the trajectory and relevance of the Global Atlas of Environmental Justice (EJAtlas) as one of the main research projects and outcomes of the Barcelona Research Group in Environmental Justice Studies and Political Ecology. We first trace the origins, scope, and methodology of the EJAtlas as a unique participatory mapping project that is both global in scope and informed by the co-production of knowledge between academia and groups seeking environmental justice. We then highlight how the work of the EJAtlas reflects and contributes to a larger trend in the field of Environmental Justice that looks to integrate critical cartography and mapping practices into both research and activist efforts. Looking ahead, we reflect on the limits and unresolved challenges of the platform, as well as on the innovative uses of the tool for advancing a spatial, comparative, and statistical political ecology.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter explores the origins, rationales and design of the European Universities Initiative (EUI), a new scheme to create a series of multilateral university alliances. The idea of creating a supranational university can be traced back to the beginnings of the European political project in the late 1940s, but despite various endeavours, this ambition remained unfulfilled. The chapter places the EUI within this long-running debate and focuses on the period following French President Macron’s 2017 Sorbonne speech which advocated a new network of universities. This provided the impetus to reignite the supranational university debate and subsequently resulted in the launch of the EUI pilot phase. The chapter explains why the EUI succeeded where previous attempts at a European university over the preceding 70 years had stalled. The analysis finds the EUI to be a novel form of alliance formation which can be viewed as a ‘network of networks’. Considering the design of the EUI, how the alliances have the potential to generate collaborative advantage for their members is considered, which also identifies some of the challenges that lie ahead for the scheme.

Abstract:
Det pågående projektet SPEED (Swedish Project for Efficient Emergency Driving) presenteras. Syftet är att i samverkan med ambulansverksamheter och övriga blåljusslag utveckla simulatorbaserad träning, speciellt i syfte att träna upp blivande blåljusförare i att hantera risksituationer i trafiken under stresspåslag. Simulatormetodiken möjliggör (1) att detta kan göras utan de fysiska risker som finns i verklig trafik; (2) att risksituationerna kan styras så att det säkerställs att alla blivande utryckningsförare exponeras för dem; (3) att risksituationerna kan repeteras; och (4) att föraren kan få omedelbar och tydlig återkoppling för att lära av sina egna misstag. Studiens experimentgrupp ska få träna på ett urval med specifika risksituationer för utryckningskörning, medan kontrollgruppen får motsvarande träning i simulator, fast endast med likadana trafiksituationer som ingår i träning för personbilskörkort. Skillnaden mellan specifik träning för utryckningskörning och personbilskörning mäts med ett simulatorscenario där dels ett antal av liknande, men ej identiska, trafiksituationer som ingått i träningen ingår, dels ett antal kritiska trafiksituationer som inte ingått i tidigare träning. Projektet genomförs i samverkan med simulatorföretagen Skillster och Tenstar, som ska implementera resultat och lärdomar i sina produkter.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract The project ahead wellpath trajectory models are built on assumptions of static earth model and wellpath error models which may not be valid all the time. But the data will provide additional support to suppress the assumption and improve the models. So, an optimized project ahead model that combines geometry, bottomhole assembly (BHA) dynamics and dynamic earth model is needed for a practical project ahead prediction. This paper presents a coupled model with embedded uncertainty not only for projecting ahead the path but also steering to achieve the path. This paper presents the results that can be used under uncertainty through planning, through realtime project ahead, most importantly by integrating all the above four models. Planning and executions are two primary approaches to intelligent decision making at the edge when the well is constructed. Execution enables us to take immediate actions far into the future, but it requires accurate well trajectory models, and the current and past realtime data. When it comes to the edge decision whether it is manual or semi-automated or fully automated it requires tighter coupling of engineering models through microservices and reinforced learning from the data and feedback from the driller. Four major types of models are considered in this paper to arrive at the dynamic path as the well is drilled. 1. Soft landing path based on dogleg as constraint 2. Minimum well profile energy that can be achieved 3. Mechanical drillahead model based on the steering tool 4. Productivity coupled earth model for various input parameters from earth model to operational parameters during drilling.

Abstract:
Virtual exchange (VE) between different English language teaching (ELT) contexts can afford opportunities to develop intercultural communicative competence (ICC) while also offering a window to reflect on different realities in terms of ELT. To this end, two ELT programmes integrated a VE project into their syllabi to provide pre-service teachers with opportunities to experience VE with reflection and development of ICC. The present account aims to describe and reflect on the GAZUFES (Gazi University and UFES University) VE project that involved pre-service teachers, tutors, and teacher trainers in a university in Brazil and another in Türkiye. GAZUFES was in turn part of the large-scale Erasmus+ KA3 Policy Experimentation European Virtual Innovation and Support Networks for Teachers (VALIANT) project. The exchange had some positive outcomes, but the sudden return to in-person classes at the end of the pandemic in the Brazilian university negatively affected the integration of GAZUFES into the Brazilian curriculum and the number of participants from Brazil. Despite the unequal number of students involved in the project, those who participated were very motivated and engaged in reflective and stimulating interactions.

Full text
Abstract:
In November, 2005 before an assembly of rail transit managers and engineers, keynote speaker Tom Prendergast — then Vice President, Parsons Brinckerhoff T&RS — declared that the next frontier of railway engineering would be not in the “Big Four” engineering disciplines of Civil, Mechanical, Electrical or even Computer Engineering, but in “Integration Engineering.” Years have passed and while Tom’s words have not yet been fully realized by the transit industry, change is happening. Today, railway construction projects that have had major construction issues include the now beleaguered Edinburgh, Scotland “Edinburgh Tram” and the recently opened Hampton Roads Transit “Tide” Light Rail. Both projects have suffered from major cost overruns, work stoppages and legal entanglements, much of which can be attributed to a lack of scope clarity, especially utility identification & interfaces, and utility relocations. The lack of coordination for both projects can be traced back to the preliminary engineering level and continued, unchecked through final design and into construction where the lack of coordination and planning was realized too late. [1,2] Given the complexities of modern railway systems and the well-developed urban and suburban infrastructure where they are typically built, proper integration engineering is essential from the earliest phases of a project and should be carried through to the start of revenue operations and maintenance. There are however, examples of recently completed railway projects that have addressed project integration engineering successfully, finishing ahead of schedule, ahead of budget, or both. This paper is a continuation in a short series of presentations and papers that will address Railway Project Integration Engineering as a topic and recommend the integration tasks deemed critical to a successful project. The primary subject matter will be the Denver Eagle P3 — the first rail transit Public Private Partnership (P3) in the United States that has recently completed final design and is currently under construction. The materials and techniques to be presented are relatively new, and have already been used successfully in Europe. Should they prove successful with the Eagle P3, this could lower both cost and risk for future North American rail projects. This first paper will discuss the topic, review modeling techniques that were used to define the project integration process, and will capture the results of final design integration with both successes and difficulties. This paper will also cover the early stages of the Eagle P3 project construction, tie into the model, and attempt to project likely results when construction concludes and testing begins with the ultimate goal of meeting an ambitious schedule and budget when operations commence in January, 2016.

Abstract:
Abstract It is well recognized that the world needs to develop interdisciplinary problem solvers and creative thinkers to address the problems of the future. Training in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) is essential for understanding the complexity of the world around us and for identifying and tackling critical technical and social issues. To that end, many programs have been launched all around the world to expose students to STEAM fields and to encourage them to pursue STEAM careers. Hands-on, project-based learning has been shown to get more students engaged with STEAM and help them learn key skills for the future. However, most STEAM education programs target students in upper-middle or high school. If students are nurtured at earlier ages to love thinking critically, solving problems, and building, they are more likely to pursue STEAM fields. This paper describes the implementation of project-based STEAM curriculum with elementary school students from ages 6–13. It includes a detailed discussion of curriculum design, case studies of specific student work, subjective analysis of engagement level with various projects, and discussion of lessons learned. The paper also discusses how the makerspace environment where the students execute their projects has been set up to be accessible for students in this age range. Additionally, the paper describes how a hands-on STEAM curriculum that traditionally relies on in-person feedback, materials, and access to peers as teammates can be maintained while having students learning remotely. Educational techniques for hands-on learning while physical distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract The King's Quay facility was fabricated and commissioned in South Korea and installed in the Gulf of Mexico to receive production from the Khaleesi, Mormont and Samurai fields. A mixture of project and operations personnel were tasked with executing deliverables to ensure a successful progression from engineering, construction, commissioning and operations to ultimately achieve first oil in April 2022. The facility design was based on an existing design already under operation, with modifications limited to improving safety and reliability and reducing emissions. The subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines (SURF) contract was awarded to include mooring and installation work, minimizing interfaces and reducing risk exposure to the operator. Technical functions fell under one project delivery team, ensuring decisions were made based on the overall benefit to the project rather than individual disciplines. Operations were involved early on during the construction phase in South Korea, and took ownership to integrate improvements throughout the project lifecycle. Subsurface design allowed for a shift from single zone to commingled production to maximize net present value (NPV) and reduce well design complexity. SURF components were standardized as much as possible across all three fields to allow for flexibility during the installation phase. Between the on-site construction team and a strong cohort of local inspectors, the facility left the shipyard on schedule and 97% complete, with minimal carry-over work in the Gulf of Mexico, and over 3.5 million work hours without a lost time incident. With the project team relying on industry-standard designs and best practices, they were able to optimize cost, schedule and functionality based on fit-for-purpose equipment designs. The flexibility of installation allowed the minimizing of simultaneous operations (SIMOPS) between pipelay and drilling activities. In the event of SIMOPS, communication protocols were established and strictly followed, minimizing non-productive time. Murphy's King's Quay development achieved first oil in April 2022, less than three years after the project's final investment decision (FID). This paper will highlight the execution plan and lessons learned to maintain continuity through all phases of the project to deliver a facility and subsea infrastructure ahead of schedule while achieving 97% uptime, with production rates exceeding expectations within six months of start-up.

Abstract:
Reclamation has been the most tenable land supply in the interest of the public. Today, around 27% of Hong Kong people are living on reclaimed land formed in the past decades. Over the past few decades, reclamation methods and ground treatment techniques have been advanced to meet the technical requirements and social acceptance at different times. In response to the increasing environmental awareness of the public, non-dredged reclamation methods in association with Deep Cement Mixing (DCM) has been introduced in Hong Kong. Tung Chung East (TCE) reclamation, as one of the ongoing projects adopting this novel technology, has showcased a role model on assimilation and adaptation of this new technology in tackling ever changing challenges in the construction industry. The success of the project markedly attributes to the application of this new ground treatment technique. In this paper, some background and geotechnical considerations for the adoption of DCM method and design approach in TCE reclamation will firstly be discussed. To date, majority of the DCM works have been completed and the reclamation works have been proceeding well. With the experience acquired and construction data collected at the site specific DCM trial embankment as well as during the construction stage, the merits and benefits of DCM method, in terms of both stability and settlement control, will be highlighted. More importantly, there has been a lot of precious experience upon construction and the project team has ironed out all these hurdles through adaptation of this technology on site. There is no doubt that the documentation of all the experience in TCE reclamation could become a great reference for the development of a local guidance for practitioners in Hong Kong and upcoming mega development projects.

Abstract:
Public involvement or community relations activities have become essential to environmental remediation projects. The key to success for these programs is to identify community and stakeholder concerns and needs early on and address them through an effective outreach program that can result in a win-win outcome for those involved. A three-phase community outreach approach is used to identify and develop proactive community outreach strategies and programs. In the first phase, a community assessment is performed to obtain the input needed to develop an effective community outreach plan. The second phase consists of providing project information and building community involvement at the beginning of site remediation. The third phase consists of continuing and dynamic two-way communication activities during site remediation, based on knowledge gathered and rapport built during Phases 1 and 2. This paper presents this three-phase approach and discusses in more detail how the information obtained from the community assessment can be transformed into a successful community involvement strategy. This paper illustrates this approach with a hypothetical military base example, based on actual projects. The Shaw Group Inc. subsidiary, Shaw Environmental & Infrastructure, Inc. (Shaw), develops a base-wide community involvement plan and begins its implementation in support of remediation activities. The community involvement plan is typically a multi-faceted approach designed to identify the most effective methods to share information between project staff and base stakeholders and to foster community involvement in a remediation project. Not only is public involvement in remediation programs mandated by federal laws, but regulators, elected officials, and military entities have learned through past experiences that, in the long run, it is better on all fronts to inform and include community stakeholders early in and throughout the remediation process. Early information and involvement educates communities about environmental impacts and provides them with opportunities to have input to remediation activities regarding land that may be turned over to the community either in the short- or long-term future.

Abstract:
This article presents impact case studies at research project and organisational levels by exploiting the Horizon Europe concept of pathways to impact and the proposed indicators. In Horizon Europe, which is the European Commission’s funding programme for research and innovation, time-sensitive Key Impact Pathways and related indicators are used as a tool for assessing the different types of impact: scientific, societal, and economic. Based on many years of experience with stakeholder engagement and impact, the authors focus on the indicators for assessing societal impact. In this way, the authors would like to contribute to the discussion on creating societal impact through research projects and institutional strategies. Leading questions are 1) Can Research & Innovation (R&I) policies be improved by using Horizon Europe Key Impact Pathways and related indicators? And 2) Can an institutional impact project and even a research project benefit from using Horizon Europe indicators and at the same time feed into R&I policies?

Full text
Abstract:
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) started deploying queue warning trucks ahead of interstate work zones to alert motorists of queued traffic. Along with visually alerting the motorists, digital alerts were integrated with navigational applications such as Apple Maps, Waze, and the in-vehicle infotainment system of Stellantis vehicles. More than 45,000 hours of alerting was provided to motorists across various interstates in Indiana over a 26-month period. This report evaluated the impact of queue warning trucks on traffic using hard braking events and traffic speeds provided by granular connected trajectory vehicle data. Evaluation of over 370 hours of queuing with the presence of queue trucks and 52 hours of queuing without the queue trucks indicated a decrease in hard braking events by 80% when trucks were present with digital alerts. It was also observed that traffic speeds started to reduce approximately 1,500 to 2,000 ft in advance of deployed queue trucks.

Abstract:
This working paper develops upon the idea that economic analysis has a definite role to play in informing decision makers about the desirability of going ahead with an investment project designed to improve environmental quality and also that the role of precision in this matter is not trivial. The authors focus mainly on the costs and benefits of projects directly aimed at natural resource or environmental quality improvement, and the costs implied by the mandatory environmental assessment of investment projects whose primary purpose is not environmental. Also included is a review of IDB environmental procedures and the IDB's experience with mitigating measures and costs.

Full text
Abstract:
Implementing an engineering critical assessment (ECA) to guide the SCC flaw disposition is a valuable tool operators have in making a repair decision. When SCC is found by inspection, the effect of this cracking on failure stress and remaining life must be evaluated to decide what action should be taken � continued operation, type of repair, or replacement. This is not widely practiced in industry because of either the unfamiliarity of the analysis or the costs involved. One option considered during this research project was to have operators conduct a generic ECA on their entire line ahead of time, which can be used in the assessment process if SCC is found at a later date. Performing an ECA often demonstrates that a less conservative repair option than what is typically selected by the operator is acceptable for certain SCC defects. A generic repair procedure was developed for this study. The applicable repair techniques depend on the degree of severity of SCC.

Full text
Abstract:
Government spending on public works, goods and services in the European Union (EU) accounts for about 14% of the EU’s GDP. Consequently, the EU and its Member States (MS) can make a great impact in accelerating the development and uptake of low-carbon technologies through green public procurement (GPP). This brief is part of a wider project financed by Breakthrough Energy, aiming to understand the divergences in GPP uptake in different EU MS and to identify key barriers to greater adoption and opportunities ahead. Ultimately, the project aims to contribute to greater policy coherence among member states to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as to increase policy support for the design of GPP implementation frameworks and for harmonized GPP target-setting. In 2020, the road transport sector accounted for 23% and 20% of total Estonian and Polish GHG emissions, respectively, while the construction sector represented about 5% and 9% of Estonian and Polish total GHG emissions, respectively. These numbers point to the large mitigation potential that procuring authorities can support by including environmental criteria in procurements. In this brief, we share the results from our desktop research and stakeholder interviews for Estonia and Poland. Results from all cases and additional research will be published in a report later in 2022.

Bieder, Corinne. Bringing together humanity and technology in context: Future challenges for safety in high-risk industries. Fondation pour une Culture de Sécurité Industrielle, April 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.57071/twp391.

Full text
Abstract:
This “Cahier de la sécurité industrielle” originates from FonCSI’s Strategic analysis “Work and workers in the 2040’s”. This project brought together a core group of academic researchers and scientific experts from industrial companies and organizations sponsoring FonCSI. They met about 15 times with the aim of exploring the impacts on the safety of high-hazard organizations of the megatrends our world and societies are undergoing. This document focuses on the role of humans and their relationship to technology. The fast pace of evolution of digital technologies is shaking up the conventional high-hazard industry landscape, introducing new challenges for safety. This document focuses on the role played by humans in the 2030-2040 timeframe as regards how safety is managed and governed. The results highlight the impact of the implicit framework adopted to appreciate the respective contributions of humans and digital technologies to the safety of high-hazard industries. Whereas a human-centered framework emphasizes specific human capabilities such as empathy, making sense, judgment, as critical to safety, a technology-centered one focuses on computational power and speed as promises to future safety. None of these frameworks opposing humans and digital technologies seems appropriate to account for real situations where they both coexist and are interrelated in more complex ways than just through man-machine interfaces. Furthermore, they are part of a broader social, political, organizational, and cultural context calling for qualifying absolute statements on Technology and Humanity. More generally, high-risk operations are complex. Thinking in terms of dichotomies (e.g., technology/humans; digital/non-digital) is too simplistic to anticipate the safety challenges ahead of us. Exploring the interrelations between humans and digital technologies includes investigating the context in which they evolve to frame possible future safety challenges in a relevant manner. This means involving diverse perspectives and disciplines to bring together humans and technologies in context and reflect the complex reality.

Full text
Abstract:
Innovation districts are physical spaces that serve to strengthen the foundations and institutions of an innovation ecosystem. The design, implementation, and management of formalized innovation districts is a new practice area. Research draws upon the experience of concentrated areas of innovation that occurred organically, such as Boston’s Route 128, as well as intentional projects to bring together innovators in large science and technology parks, such as North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park. Existing research focuses on how to define and design innovation districts and evaluate their impact, as well as general policy considerations. In this paper, we review the definitions and benefits of an innovation district, reviewing the existing empirical research on their impacts. We then propose a series of questions to guide practitioners in addressing the economic, physical, social, and governance elements of an innovation district. Finally, we outline some of the challenges in creating an innovation district and ways to measure progress, to allow practitioners to get ahead of potential issues in the future. This paper is intended to help policymakers and practitioners working in innovation and economic development translate the concepts of innovation ecosystems into actionable next steps for planning innovation districts in their communities.

Van Ackern, Pia, and Adrien Detges. Climate change, vulnerability and security in the Sahel. Adelphi research gemeinnützige GmbH, December 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.55317/casc024.

Full text
Abstract:
Climate change plays an important role in the future of the Sahel. Temperatures, particularly in the northern-central Sahel, could rise 1.5 times faster than the global average. Climate shocks and extreme events such as droughts and heavy rains are projected to become more frequent and severe. These changes are accompanied by other challenges: accelerated population growth, low economic productivity and production diversity, political conflicts and crises, inter-communal violence and violent extremism. However, the severity of climate impacts on livelihoods, food security, mobility and conflict in the Sahel will depend largely on the future evolution of socio-economic and political conditions in the region. These will ultimately determine the vulnerability and resilience of Sahelian communities to climate impacts. The evolution of these conditions is uncertain, but we can consider different scenarios to help Sahelian communities and decision-makers prepare for the possible challenges (and opportunities) ahead. Looking ahead to 2050, this paper presents three scenarios for the part of the Sahel comprising Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. Each scenario is characterised by a different level of vulnerability and resilience to the future effects of climate change, depending on the social, political and economic parameters that characterise it. Thus, each scenario presents different challenges and opportunities for the security and development of the region. The main purpose of the scenarios is to describe and assess these challenges in order to facilitate anticipatory action. The scenarios presented in this document were developed jointly with 19 experts from the region, working in the fields of climate change adaptation, natural resource management, conflict prevention and other relevant sectors, in order to obtain a multidisciplinary perspective on the main challenges and solutions. The methodological approach is described in the annex. The scenarios presented here are not exhaustive. Rather, they are intended to provide an overview of different possible futures, to provide a basis for adaptation strategies, and to raise awareness among decision-makers and stakeholders in the EU and the Sahel more generally. In particular, the scenarios can be used as tools to identify relevant policy options in the face of uncertain climatic, social, political and economic conditions in the Sahel.
