Are win-wins possible in complex environmental management? In this post, I discuss whether win-wins are realistic in complex environmental management. I use case studies from river flow management to demonstrate that any environmental management decision comes with tradeoffs.

Are win-wins possible in complex environmental management?

Tradeoffs rule the world

And I touch on recent modelling work that shows that the more objectives there are, the more stakeholders there are, or the more constraints there are, the less likely you are to reach a win-win (and the more severe the tradeoff).
