Incorporating Social and Environmental Outputs in Decision-Making: Workshop Outcomes

Abstract

This document summarizes the notable outcomes of the workshop Quantifying and Incorporating Social and Environmental Outputs in Decision-Making - Research and Development Needs and Strategy Workshop. The workshop was held 24 and 25 July 2019 in Alexandria, Virginia, at the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Institute for Water Resources (IWR). The workshop sought to identify gaps in knowledge, methods, data, and tools and to identify types of subject matter experts who would be needed for the research team. A total of 22 participants attended the facilitated workshop, representing a broad array of expertise: economists, scientists, planners, social scientists, project managers, and researchers from a number of USACE organizations and partnering academics across the United States. Together, these attendees reviewed existing policy and research and prioritized future work to fill gaps in methods and procedures for incorporating social and environmental inputs across a broad range of USACE projects.
