Integrated Assessment (IA) offers an effective way to frame and inform decisions for sustainability problems that often lack a clear cause or solution. IA is designed to use stakeholder input to collectively define problems, incorporate diverse perspectives, use best available information, and establish partnerships to identify options for making positive change. Because IA projects are complex and require dedicated time and resources, it is important for participants to understand their benefits. Through interviews with scientists, nongovernmental organization staff, state and federal agency experts, consultants, and community members who participated in four very different IA projects, we developed a common lexicon of tangible and intangible benefits. These results demonstrate IA works effectively at many geographic scales, increases knowledge and understanding of issues among diverse participants, creates new policy perspectives and processes, helps leverage new resources, and builds coalitions that would not otherwise exist.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
