Possible Futures for Southeast Alaska
by Spruce Root and REOS Partners for The Sustainable Southeast Partnership
The Scenarios for the Future of Southeast Alaska are stories about what could happen in Southeast in the future, from 2025 to 2050. They are not stories about what will happen (forecasts) or what should happen (a vision). Rather, the scenarios hypothesize different ways the future could unfold for the region’s communities, economy, environment, and culture. The purpose of these stories is to offer a shared language for talking together about what is possible and what must be done.
The starting point for these stories is the current environment. While some things about the future are certain and constant, such as Southeast’s geography, these scenarios explore what is uncertain about the future, considering both factors within the region and external to it.
