Decisions in developing communities that focus on the human-environment interface—like energy development and delivery, and climate change mitigation—are inherently complex. These decisions must contend with significant technical challenges and uncertainties, while at the same time, these decisions often need to meet linked social, economic and environmental objectives. Research in the decision sciences finds that when faced with difficult decisions, like those involving energy or climate change, people struggle with articulating their values, and with making necessary tradeoffs across objectives. This can result in sub-optimal decision outcomes that fail to adequately address stakeholders’ concerns. The research presented in this thesis applies theories and methods from the decision sciences to two contexts related to development decisions: creating an energy strategy Canada’s Northwest Territories; and climate change mitigation via forest-based carbon management in Vietnam.
