Decision‐making for systemic water risks: Insights from a participatory risk assessment process in Vietnam

Abstract

Here, we evaluate the use of causal modeling and participatory risk assessment to developnational policy on systemic water risks. We present an application of the Risks and Options Assessmentfor Decision-Making (ROAD) process to a district of Vietnam where national agricultural water reformsare being piloted. The methods and results of this project provide general insights about how to supportresilient decision-making, including the transfer of knowledge across administrative levels, identificationof feedback effects, and the effective implementation of risk assessment processes.
