Along the way, I came to realize that different academic disciplines need to be recruited for two purposes: 1) to tell an accurate story about the motivations and processes by which environmental (and other) decisions get made by stakeholders that range from policy-makers in the public and private sector to the general public; and 2) to determine and implement effective and feasible ways of changing the physical, institutional, and social environment to help myopic decision-makers achieve long(er)-term objectives. I see my voyage as an exercise in applied hope, resisting the constraints that disciplines and academia try to place on scholars and helping others to do so as well, by both example and institution-building. - Reproduced   aDaedalus    aCLIMATE CHANGE  cAR  00102ddc40709390431aIIPAbIIPAd2021-02-23h149(4), Fall 2020: p.139-150pAR124408r2021-02-23yAR
