This is a paper presented to the 2103 MODSIM conference by Dr. Iris Bohnet , then leader of the Participatory Scenarios research node within the Wet Tropics NRM cluster Stream 2 project. This paper describes the project approach and summarises results from initial participatory processes with partner NRM organisations aimed at identifying their specific scientific information needs in relation to developing potential climate adaption responses. These processes were based on the identification of key drivers of change in each NRM region.
