Defining Uncertainty: A Conceptual Basis for Uncertainty Management in Model-Based Decision Support
Warren E. Walker,Poul Harremoës,Jan Rotmans,J.P. van der Sluijs,M.B.A. van Asselt,P. Janssen,M.P. Krayer von Krauss +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a conceptual basis for the systematic treatment of uncertainty in model-based decision support activities such as policy analysis, integrated assessment and risk assessment, and propose an uncertainty matrix as a heuristic tool to classify and report the various dimensions of uncertainty, thereby providing a conceptual framework for better communication among analysts as well as between them and policymakers and stakeholders.
Dynamic adaptive policy pathways: A method for crafting robust decisions for a deeply uncertain world
TL;DR: The Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways approach is illustrated by producing an adaptive plan for long-term water management of the Rhine Delta in the Netherlands that takes into account the deep uncertainties about the future arising from social, political, technological, economic, and climate changes.
Adapt or Perish: A Review of Planning Approaches for Adaptation under Deep Uncertainty
TL;DR: In this paper, a family of related conceptual approaches to designing a sustainable plan is described and compared, and several computational tools supporting these approaches are described and discussed. But the focus of this paper is on the adaptation of a sustainable adaptive plan over time.
Adaptive policies, policy analysis, and policy-making
TL;DR: The suggested “adaptive” approach allows policymakers to cope with the uncertainties that confront them by creating policies that respond to changes over time and that make explicit provision for learning.
