ONLINE: Decoding Complexity - Tools for Making Sense of Policy Problems
Join the听9I制作厂免费 Alumni Public Policy Society听for an insightful webinar exploring how complexity science can illuminate the intricate web of contemporary policy issues, from housing crises to climate change and more. These problems are increasingly inter-systemic, overlapping, and complex.
Traditional policy responses often target single causes within isolated departments, missing the intricate chains of cause and effect. Discover how conceptual tools like non-linearity, positive feedback, and polycrisis can help policymakers and analysts better understand and navigate these interconnected challenges. Gain greater clarity on the emergence of complex policy problems and learn actionable strategies to address them effectively.
