Each workshop participant is asked to give their perspective on plausible developments of the selected regional factors under each of the two global scenarios. Based on the discussions in the first workshop, the project team modified the originally presented global and regional factors. To justify these modifications, statements made by participants in the first workshop are mapped into these factors.
