Experts Foresee the Future of Sustainable Development in Yemen at EADP / DIW Berlin Workshop

EADP and DIW Berlin hosted an expert scenario development workshop on 11 March 2019. A ‎distinguished group of academics, diplomats, and development and energy professionals moved ‎through a four-stage scenario foresight process. They investigated the complex links, interactions, ‎and interdependencies between the different factors, actors, trends, and events that shape ‎change.‎

The workshop, entitled “How today’s uncertainties shape tomorrow’s world: Exploring future ‎Yemens”, focussed on asking how future sustainable development in Yemen will depend on ‎current developments. The workshop allowed the participants to learn from each other and ‎understand conflicting and opposing viewpoints. The process resulted in four initial scenarios, ‎which will provide the basis for an upcoming EADP policy brief. It will help decision-makers in ‎Yemen to consider a wide range of factors when dealing with energy and development. ‎
