Decision taking under uncertainty

The VCCCAR funded project 'Decision taking under uncertainty: towards an efficient strategy to manage risk and uncertainty in climate change' will use the Gippsland region to analyse the process of regional planning and how knowledge of climate change impacts and adaptation options is used in decision-making. The project will consider both the energy economy and integrated land use planning, both of which need to integrate the needs of a variety of often confliciting interests and develop genuine guidelines for improved regional planning that integrates the need to consider future climate risks.

Project outputs can be found on the publications page.
