Our mission is to generate better decision making through sound science.
^Top
Scientific knowledge informs many decisions made today, but the connections between science and decision making are not well understood or widely perceived. Very few scientists engage in activities aimed at understanding the issues and challenges decision makers face. Also, decision makers do not often participate in efforts to synthesize scientific knowledge, even though scientific efforts are intended to support decision making directly.
We believe that this situation needs to change. We have therefore begun to devise methods to bring together the scientific and decision-making communities, particularly regarding the constellation of issues associated with climate change. Our goal is to bridge the gap between technical scientific knowledge and more general understanding in order to enable effective action.
