Decision Making for the Environment: Social and Behavioral Science Research Priorities
- Share to:
The natural sciences provide an essential knowledge base for wise choices when human activities may have significant environmental consequences. Only through these sciences can decision makers understand the dynamics of environmental systems and the ways in which human actions reverberate through these systems to affect environmental quality. The social and behavioral sciences also provide an essential knowledge base, al- though their roles are not as commonly recognized or as fully institutional- ized in environmental policy. Only through these sciences can decision makers understand which policies will induce the desired human actions in relation to the environment and what ultimate effects environmentally im- portant decisions are likely to have on human well-being. Moreover, environmentally important decisions may themselves be improved with better application of behavioral and social scientific knowledge.
