Ecological uncertainty at the center of sustainability policy

This interdisciplinary collection examines how ecological science enters public decision-making when ecosystem management must proceed without complete certainty. Chapters bring together perspectives from ecology, geography, law, and policy analysis to address the legitimacy of scientific knowledge, public participation, the role of non-governmental organizations, and communication across sectors. Framed around sustainability, it treats ecosystem management as both a scientific and institutional challenge, with attention to the policy processes and management approaches used in varied contexts.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Undergraduates studying ecology, environmental policy, or sustainability
  • Students interested in the relationship between science, law, and public decision-making
  • Readers examining participatory approaches to ecosystem management

Book overview

A broad and comprehensive exploration of the role of the ecological sciences in sustainability for undergraduates.The urgent quest for more sustainable patterns of development has placed new and difficult demands on both scientists and policy makers as they seek to establish more informed and effective policy processes and management regimes in the the face of pervasive uncertainty. Written by an international group of authors from a range of disciplines - ecology, geography, law, policy analysis and others - the chapters explore issues of scientific legitimacy, public participation, non-governmental organisations, inter-sectoral communication and pragmatic public policy across a wide range of ecosystem management contexts.
