In this video in our Ecological Forecasting lecture series Melissa Kenney introduces environmental decision support, decision analysis, and the PROACT framework: PRoblem, Objectives, Alternatives, Consequences, and Trade-offs. It discusses the essential connections between forecasting and decision making and discusses the first four steps of PROACT: identifying the problem and decision objectives, choosing the performance measures that will be used to score our decision objectives, generating decision alternatives and scenarios, and using ecological forecasts to project the consequences of our different decision alternatives.
