Earth Observations (GEO) sees food, and energy security, natural hazards, pandemics ofofinfectious diseases, sustainability of keywater services, energy security, natural hazards, pandemics of infectious diseases, sustainability of key services, poverty, and climate change as societal challenges [1]
Contributors to the Special Issue cover a spectrum of policy problems, from renewable energy, to climate change and bioenergy, to rural water supply and, the coordination of spatial data infrastructures, which underpin efforts to address societal challenges [4]
We have shown that the mainstream view of geo-information tools as contributing to collection, analysis, and dissemination of data may not be so productive when we deal with wicked policy problems
Summary
The emblematic intergovernmental Group of Earth Observations (GEO) sees food, water and. Earth Observations (GEO) sees food, and energy security, natural hazards, pandemics ofofinfectious diseases, sustainability of keywater services, energy security, natural hazards, pandemics of infectious diseases, sustainability of key services, poverty, and climate change as societal challenges [1]. We regard the abovementioned societal challenges as wicked policy problems [3]—. We regard the abovementioned societal challenges as wicked policy problems [3]—involving multiple involving multiple or unknown causes, anticipated and unanticipated effects, and high levels of or unknown causes, anticipated and unanticipated effects, and high levels of disagreement among disagreement among governance stakeholders concerning the nature (and even the existence) of a governance concerning the nature (andSpecial even the existence) of atoproblem problem andstakeholders the appropriateness of solutions. We attempt takeNorth the pulse of how we, how we, as geo-information scientists, wicked problems in theto global and South.
