Crisis scenarios Strasbourg-Kehl 2050

The scenarios presented here are the result of a collective exercise in prospective fiction that took place on the 4th of July 2024 in Kehl (Germany) as part of the European pilot project entitled IMMER (Increasing Municipal Mobility and Energy Resilience). This project has re-ceived funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101094455.
The collective effort in crafting these narratives resulted in three distinct scenarios titled "Tsunami 2050", "Blackout 2050", and "Collapse 2050". This exercise involved approximately thirty representatives from key local stakeholders, including businesses, ports, energy produc-ers, mobility operators, public authorities, and academics.
The process was preceded by a series of preliminary interviews with these stakeholders in the weeks leading up to the main event. The plausibility of these scenarios is grounded in the current concerns and fears of these stakeholders. Specifically, there are significant questions re-garding the mid- and long-term stability of energy infrastructures, as well as the mobility of goods and people.
