Blue indicates that the intervention was highlighted by the associated regional assessment for moving towards a more sustainable development trajectory; white indicates absence of the intervention. The interventions are clustered similarly to the grouping used in Chapter 22. Interventions that were not on the predefined list from the scenario literature review (those labelled “Other regional and bottom-up interventions”) were added to derive an updated list of interventions (see Section 23.8).
