“…Some evaluations of RDM tools, visualizations, and processes exist, both in the laboratory (Budescu et al 2013;Parker et al 2015;Gong et al 2017) and through field experiments . Recent work has proposed frameworks for evaluating the impacts of RDM-based decision support in urban environments (Knopman and Lempert 2016). But much more such evaluation work is required to improve the practical application of RDM decision support (Bartels et.…”

“…As one example, the concept of risk governance embeds risk management, which often has a narrow, more technocratic perspective, in a broader context that considers institutions, rules conventions, processes, and mechanisms through which humans acting as individuals and groups make choices affecting risk (Renn 2008). Recent work has explored how to embed RDM methods and tools in a risk governance framework (Knopman and Lempert 2016). For instance, RDM can help decisionmakers working within a multi-agent and multi-jurisdictional system organize their strategies into "tiers of transformation," which derives from the ideas of triple-loop learning.…”

Engaging Multiple Worldviews With Quantitative Decision Support: A Robust Decision‐Making Demonstration Using the Lake Model

Many of today's most pressing policy challenges are usefully characterized as wicked problems. With contested framings parties to a decision disagree not only on potential solutions, but on the nature of the problem they are trying to solve. The quantitative tools of risk and policy analysis, commonly designed to develop and compare choices within a single decision framing, are poorly designed to bring quantitative information into debates with contested framings. This study aims to build on recent advances in decision making under deep uncertainty (DMDU) to demonstrate methods and tools that may help resolve the tension between quantitative decision support and multiworldview approaches for addressing wicked problems. The study employs robust decision making (RDM), one common DMDU method, and a new version of the lake model, a simple and widely used model of a coupled human and natural system, to conduct a stylized analysis that reflects three different worldviews. The RDM analysis solves the decision challenge independently for each worldview and then compares each set of solutions from the vantage of the other worldviews. The resulting utopia–dystopia matrix informs problem reframing that seeks robust, adaptive strategies independently consistent with each worldview and thus provides a locus for agreement. The study describes how stakeholder engagements might use such analytic tools and their information products to provide overlapping but alternative entry points for groups with fundamentally different worldviews to engage with each other in deliberative processes appropriate for wicked problems.

The Effects of Climate Change on Employment Relations in Zimbabwe

In this article, I focus on climate change in the context of employment relations in Zimbabwe. I seek to establish the relationship between climate change and employment through exploring the impact that climate change has on selected sectors and subsequently on the labour market. The literature reviewed established a link between climate change and employment relations as a significant number of jobs worldwide are dependent on ecosystems. A qualitative research approach was used to gather information relating to key economic sectors affected by climate change in Zimbabwe. The National Employment Councils on the identified sectors were selected using purposive sampling. In this study, I adopt a qualitative research methodology relying on face-to-face interviews with 21 respondents participating from a sample frame of 72 participants. The interview data collected from the respondents were analysed using a thematic approach and coding. The findings of the study indicate that climate change has led to unfavourable working conditions, a decline in productivity, loss of employment and gender disparities at the workplace. Consequently, worker rights and human rights issues arise necessitating the interrogation of the role of trade unions, the labour and climate legislation, related policies and institutions. The article brings out a new dimension in Zimbabwe’s employment relations as climate change issues in employment relations have not yet been fully explored. I recommend an integration of climate change and employment policies to facilitate justification and adaptation strategies which support an environment that is conducive to industrial relations.
