This book characterises the current limitations of scientific prediction for global environmental issues. It presents a review of the epistemology of this policy field including current policy responses (e.g. to abrupt climate change) then suggests potential ethical and policy implications and resolutions. Specifically, it has developed innovative approaches to respond to these difficulties in prediction, which should also allow sustainable development policy to be more democratic, plural and open in line with Agenda 21.
