Abstract

This chapter reflects on futures studies and the role that “the future” plays in social and economic transformations. The aim of the chapter is to go into some detail on the history of futures studies, with emphasis on the futures envisaged in the forest sector and in the field of the environment since the 1950s. It situates the role of the “future” in today’s environmental debate referring to dialogs that have taken place between productivist and environmental discourses.
