A season worth restoring, a livelihood that has already changed

2105The deep futureDeadline · Within 18 months, before the benchmark date for restoration investment

Civilisational assumption

The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.

The question to decide

To long-term residents, the old season is a life worth recovering; new residents have built livelihoods suited to the changed environment. Restoring the past environment can make some adapted facilities useless, and keeping the present leaves the loss of those who hoped for recovery. What environment should the joint restoration investment aim at?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Restore the standard of past life

    It answers the loss felt by the existing community, but imposes transition losses on new livelihoods formed in the changed environment.

  2. Option 2

    Keep the present adapted environment

    It carries forward the accumulated new way of life, but leaves the recovery demands of people who lost the past environment.

  3. Option 3

    Generations and residents agree on a new standard

    It reflects the changed lives together, but accepts the cost of agreement time and changes to the goal.

The situation as it stands

The long-standing residents of the assumed area want the old seasons back, while new residents have built their livelihoods around the changed environment. Decision deadline: within 18 months, before the restoration investment reference date.

A synthetic future scenario set in 2105 · New residents also pay the cost of restoring the old comfort. The events, figures, technology, and nature of the civilization are assumptions for the question, not predictions of what is to come or observed facts.

  1. Premise 1The long-standing residents of the assumed area want the old seasons back, while new residents have built their livelihoods around the changed environment.
  2. Premise 2If the environment is changed back toward the past goal, part of the adaptation facilities already invested in may become useless.
  3. Premise 3Agreeing on a new goal requires comparing different memories and needs, and not every condition can be built together.

Where it holdsThe climate baseline, new residents, and the environment people want

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1Which elements of the past baseline are actually recoverable
  2. Unknown 2Livelihood investments already tied to each environment
  3. Unknown 3A path for reflecting the needs of generations not yet born

Signals to decide again

  • Define what observation, responsible party, and confirmation window can verify which elements of the past baseline are actually recoverable, and re-judge if new findings change the trade-offs of the options.
  • Define what observation, responsible party, and confirmation window can verify the livelihood investments already tied to each environment, and re-judge if new findings change the trade-offs of the options.
  • Define what observation, responsible party, and confirmation window can verify a path for reflecting the needs of generations not yet born, and re-judge if new findings change the trade-offs of the options.
Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

A review found that even reproducing the average conditions of the past does not make residents' remembered seasonal experience the same.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

In the talks on a new standard, residents in unstable housing kept dropping out of participation.
