Global Change Management: Knowledge Gaps, Blindspots and Unknowables

Managing global change not only requires best use of available knowledge but also competent handling of non-knowledge. Blindspots (unrecognized non-knowledge) are especially challenging. A team of 13 international authors reflects on related fundamental and applied issues in nature conservation, forest management, climate policy, and development cooperation.

Das Management von globalem Wandel erfordert neben der Nutzung vorhandenen Wissens auch einen kompetenten Umgang mit Nicht-Wissen. Blindspots (unsichtbares Nicht-Wissen) stellen dabei die größte Herausforderung dar. Der Band beschäftigt sich mit grundlegen Fragen in den Bereichen Naturschutz, Forstmanagement, Klimapolitik und Entwicklungskooperation.

Series for Econics and Ecosystem Management

Herausgegeben von Prof. Dr. Pierre L. Ibisch und Dr. Peter R. Hobson

Econics is a transdisciplinary approach to studying the dynamics and functioning of ecological systems with the aim of deriving sustainable management solutions for natural resource-dependent socio-economic systems operating under global change. In ecosystem management the principal challenge is to work 'with the grain of nature' and not against it. The Series for Econics and Ecosystem Management strives to provide solutions to problematic questions such as: How is the balance between efficiency and resilience achieved in sustainable ecological systems? How do they adapt to changing conditions? What lessons from ecosystem functioning can be learnt to inform sustainable development policy and action?
