A Sampling Framework for Uncertainty in Individual Environmental Decisions

Research output: Journal contributionsConference article in journalResearchpeer-review

Authors

Decisions in the environmental and in particular the climate domain are burdened with uncertainty. Here, we focus on uncertainties faced by individuals when making decisions about environmental behavior, and we use the statistical sampling framework to develop a classification of different sources of uncertainty they encounter. We then map these sources to different public policy strategies aiming to help individuals cope with uncertainty when making environmental decisions.
