Increasingly, social-environmental decision making is like playing a multidimensional game of chess. Facing complex interactions between the atmosphere, the litho-hydrosphere, and the biosphere, policy makers and managers need a systemic approach to decision making. Replacing the dysfunctional, symptomatic thinking that has plunged the world into environmental crises, the new paradigm of systemic decision making fosters social-environmental sustainability. Based on the authors more than 45 years of research and international experience, it guides readers to work with, rather than within, theoretical and methodological frameworks to achieve multidimensional and multilayered policy decisions.
Increasingly, environmental decision making is like playing a multidimensional game of chess. With interactions between the atmosphere, the litho-hydrosphere, and the biosphere, the game is at once a measure of complexity, uncertainty, interdisciplinary acuity, social-environmental sustainability, and social justice for all generations. As such, it demands a systemic point of view. Decision Making for a Sustainable Environment: A Systemic Approach gives readers the tools to replace the dysfunctional, symptomatic decision making that has plunged the world into environmental crises with a systemic approach that fosters social-environmental sustainability.
A New Paradigm for Environmental Decision Making
Based on the authors more than 45 years of research and broad, international experience, this book guides policy makers and managers to work withrather than withintheoretical and methodological frameworks to achieve multidimensional and multilayered policy decisions. It discusses systemic thinking as a rational, viable alternative to competitive, materialistic, and symptomatic decision making.
Insights, Approaches, and Examples for Leadership
Organized into three parts, the book begins by describing the inviolable biophysical principles that define the limitations of human choices. The second part examines in depth why the conventional command-and-control form of decision making tends to become dysfunctional and fails. It also explains how to break the cycle of such behavior. A case study by Jessica K. La Porte explores the challenges of creating a program of environmentally sustainable decision making. The third part of the book explores what it takes to be a psychologically mature decision maker.
A Peaceful Path toward Social-Environmental Sustainability for All Generations
Proposing new ways of thinking and problem solving, this book provides readers with the ideas, language, approaches, and examples to move toward genuine social-environmental sustainability. It offers counsel on how to be a psychologically mature trustee of planet Earth and leave a more viable legacy for future generations.
