The easiest way is the Indiana Jones/National Treasure route...some bad people are on expedition to do a bad thing, so the PCs have to do the same expedition to stop them. But I think you can get more creative as well. Transported to a modern context, you could be journalists heading somewhere remote to uncover an illegal mining operation. Or you could be trying to find an individual who is remote for whatever reason; that is Stanley's search for Livingston, but also The Force Awakens. The search for the source of the Nile helped reveal why there were years of famine of plenty. You can imagine casting that as a solution to ecological challenges (i.e., there is a famine because of ?). Tying that into climate makes for a very timely backdrop.</blockquote>
