Taking meaningful decisions : sensemaking and decision-making in water and climate governance
Decisions about water management in river deltas or mountain areas are often based on technical considerations, such as water levels and budgets. But in the era of climate change, decisionmaking on water management is becoming increasingly complex. Whether it’s about ‘super dikes’ in the Netherlands or the water supply for a megacity like Lima, an accurate cost-benefit analysis is not enough. Taking meaningful decisions requires making concrete choices that provide a meaningful perspective on the water system at hand.
