dc.descriptionPost project research output by John Stone, IDRC Visiting Fellow, April 2007-2008en
dc.description.abstractThe chapter is based on the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment Report (2005). The author argues for effective transfer of knowledge regarding climate change to the general public, and in particular to political leaders as a means of enhancing democracy and making informed decisions. Society must wrestle with its apparent need to seek short-term rewards and the tendency towards greed, denial, tribalism, and ignorance which often raises barriers to action. The chapter urges policy making and action based on evidence, recognizing that many of these issues are deemed "wicked problems," where uncertainty is a given.en
