How can an Integrated Assessment address the social barriers that impede change?
Effective assessments must include all stakeholders, all of whom will have interests – political, economic, personal – at stake in the outcome of the integrated assessment. The purpose of effective stakeholder engagement is to identify all the interests and, through the IA process, ensure that they are adequately addressed so that the suite of resulting policy/management options takes these factors into account. At that point, the decision maker(s) using the results of the IA will have to weigh the impact of various options in their implementation decisions.
