DECISION MAKING AND THE SUCCESS OF
CIVILIZATIONS
All great civilizations make decisions. Those that succeed make the
right ones. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jared Diamond researched
the role that choice played in either the collapse or resilience of
societies.1 He concluded that crucial to success was not only action,
it was right action. But how do we choose the right action? Through
understanding what type of decision making dominates our choices,
why we make the decisions we do, and how to make them better,
we move toward successful response to climate change.
