This executive summary describes the development and validation of the Local Knowledge Scenarios (LKS) method, an interdisciplinary approach designed to evaluate how rural producers in the Americas perceive global environmental change and incorporate that knowledge into future land-use decision-making.

  • The project developed the Local Knowledge Scenarios (LKS) method, which integrates field work with Agent-Based Models to allow for the participative construction of land use scenarios. The methodology was tested and validated across five distinct regions: the Pampa in Uruguay, the Amazonian Rainforest in Brazil, the North Atlantic Coast in Newfoundland and Canada, the Andean Mountain in Peru, and the North American Prairie in Canada.
  • Initial results from the LKS method indicate a gap between local awareness and policy implementation. In the Brazilian Amazon, local populations are aware of soil degradation and hydrological changes caused by deforestation, yet environmental laws regarding deforestation are difficult to apply because they lack local acceptance.
  • In the Change Islands, Canada, the objective of maintaining a standard of living for fishing communities through income diversification, such as tourism, is hindered by the absence of national public policies that permit adaptation to specific local situations.
