Objectives

Environmental changes are known to affect human health and well-being, natural ecosystems and biodiversity, water quality and availability, food and fibre production and many economic activities. Therefore, an understanding of the processes of "global change" and methods of projecting such changes are likely to be of interest to a wide community.

The FINSKEN project is attempting to develop up-to-date projections of changes in environmental and related factors in Finland during the 21^st century and beyond. This seminar was organised at the mid-point of the project to fulfil three main objectives:

• To describe the methods used by FINSKEN researchers to develop scenarios of global environmental change for Finland.
• To obtain feedback from representatives of the private sector, public sector, non-governmental organisations and researchers concerning their requirements for global change scenarios.
• To present preliminary scenarios for discussion.
