DECISION SCIENCE FOR FUTURE EARTH KARTONIERT (TB)

This open access book provides a theoretical framework and case studies on decision science for
regional sustainability by integrating the natural and social sciences. The cases discussed
include solution-oriented transdisciplinary studies on the environment  disasters  health 
governance and human cooperation. Based on these case studies and comprehensive reviews of
relevant works  including lessons learned from past failures for predictable surprises and
successes in adaptive co-management  the book provides the reader with new perspectives on how
we can co-design collaborative projects with various conflicts of interest and how we can
transform our society for a sustainable future. The book makes a valuable contribution to the
global research initiative Future Earth  promoting transdisciplinary studies to bridge the gap
between science and society in knowledge generation processes and supporting efforts to achieve
the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Compared to other publications on
transdisciplinary studies  this book is unique in that evolutionary biology is used as an
integrator for various areas related to human decision-making  and approaches social changes as
processes of adaptive learning and evolution. Given its scope  the book is highly recommended
to all readers seeking an integrated overview of human decision-making in the context of social
transformation.
