How do I deal with uncertainties?
There are always uncertainties associated with a transition, for example relating to:
- Gaps in knowledge
- Unknown future technological developments
- Unpredictable behaviour of actors
- Variability in the behaviour of ecosystems.
Some ways of dealing with these uncertainties are:
- Identify the uncertainties as clearly as possible so that they can be discussed. One method of doing this is to use scenarios
- Make explicit choices about uncertainties with the stakeholders
- Work on more than one transition path: explore different possible development paths
- Monitor developments that you know to be uncertain and adjust your programme to them if necessary.
