Challenges of Communicating Sustainability in Complex Systems for Public Policy
In our first Water/Climate Briefing for the 2013-2014 academic year, DCDC set the stage for a wide-ranging discussion of critical issues in the realms of science and policy for this year’s theme: Communicating Sustainability in Complex Systems for Public Policy.
Our panelists explored:
- Understanding sustainability and complex systems
- Communicating sustainability and climate change for public policy
- Design of governance arrangements to transcend political borders
- Design and administration of complex organizations
- The role of global governance organizations in sustainability
- Incorporating complexity into water resources decision making
- Innovative tools for communicating complexity for public policy
We aim to provide opportunities for researchers, policy makers, and the interested public to engage in informed dialogue about the challenges and opportunities for decision making about sustainability in complex systems.
Join the conversation!
