Abstract

In this communication article, we share our scenario ideas at the request of the journal editor. These are (1) a scenario for building sustainable suburbs; (2) a counterfactual scenario for coping with the super wicked COVID problem; (3) envisioning alternative futures of cultural ecosystem services supplies in Southwestern Ghana; and (4) a path toward writing successful scenarios. The ideas will be fully developed in due course into scholarly articles for the journal.

Keywords: Adroitness; Counterfactual scenarios; Creative thinking; Cultural ecosystem services (CES); Scenarios; Southwestern Ghana; Super wicked problem; Sustainable suburbs.
