Once Baseline scenarios are implemented, modifications at various levels can be made that reflect policy interventions aiming to diverge from the trends emerging under baseline conditions. This can take many different shapes and forms, depending on the subject, scale, timeframe and policy levers under consideration. Reducing climate change impacts is one obvious example, but also reducing nutrient loading of coastal sees, slowing down the rate of biodiversity loss, reducing water stress, and many other options to alleviate anticipated future problems have been explored with IMAGE during the last decade. Again, for more information on policies, instruments and goals pursued, see Chapters 4 through 8 in this book. | Once Baseline scenarios are implemented, modifications at various levels can be made that reflect policy interventions aiming to diverge from the trends emerging under baseline conditions.
