We will explore the complexities of collective decision-making in the management of common pool resources, particularly in the context of climate change. The challenges we now face are immense, compounded by uncertainties around safe biophysical boundaries, future resource availability, and the effectiveness of governance strategies.
Achieving equitable, sustainable water management amid these uncertainties requires urgent action and collaboration, as we adapt to new realities while making decisions with incomplete, and sometimes conflicting, knowledge of our water systems and their future.
