Informing Decisions in a Changing Climate

Informing Decisions in a Changing Climate

Informing Decisions in a Changing Climate examines the growing need for climate-related decision support—that is, organized efforts to produce, disseminate, and facilitate the use of data and information in order to improve the quality and efficacy of climate-related decisions. Drawing on evidence from past efforts to organize science for improved decision making, it develops guidance for government agencies and other institutions that will provide or use information for coping with climate change.

Public Participation in Environmental Assessment and Decision Making

Public Participation in Environmental Assessment and Decision Making

Federal agencies have taken steps to include the public in a wide range of environmental decisions. Although some form of public participation is often required by law, agencies usually have broad discretion about the extent of that involvement. This book concludes that, when done correctly, public participation improves the quality of federal agencies' decisions about the environment.

Understanding Multiple Environmental Stresses: Report of a Workshop
