Collaboration for Environmental Protection: Integrating Knowledge, Communication, and Process
Carissa Schively Slotterback, Assistant Professor, Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs
Wouldn’t life be easy if environmental decisions were always made based on the best available science? While it is often assumed that more and better information leads to better decisions, science alone is often ineffective in influencing stakeholders and decision makers. This presentation will highlight emerging approaches to stakeholder collaboration for environmental protection that better respond to how people use information in making decisions. Schively Slotterback will illustrate approaches to simultaneously enhancing environmental impact information, our communication about that information, and the environmental decision-making processes in which information is used.
