Environmental Decision Support Systems (EDSS)

Environmental Decision Support Systems (EDSS) are computerized tools that help policymakers, scientists, and stakeholders analyze environmental data to make informed decisions. They integrate information on climate, water, land use, and pollution, providing simulations and visualizations to assess different management options. By offering a clear understanding of complex environmental issues and potential outcomes, EDSS support sustainable planning and policy choices aimed at protecting ecosystems and human health. Essentially, they are decision-making aids that make complex environmental information accessible and actionable.
