Decision Change
The First Step to System Change
The global crises, such as climate change and biodiversity loss, have not been effectively addressed by the present decision-making procedures, such as the Conferences of the Parties, organized by the United Nations. Therefore, there is need for decision change -- the design of a more effective procedure to decide on systemic changes. Examples of such a procedure are impartial deliberation followed by some kind of voting (as with citizens' assemblies) and decision-making based on knowledge and reason, such as by experts, judges, or using multiple-attribute group decision-making. This procedure would have to be designed by experts in decision-making (for example, deliberation techniques, voting methods, and problem analysis) and by laypeople, while others safeguard the design process. An organization would have to convene these people, collect system-change proposals, and ensure that the procedure is used to decide on these proposals.
