Citizen Participation Approaches in Environmental Health

Environmental health is a very complex topic, as a whole range of factors are involved, many with high risks and uncertainty. The combination of complexity and uncertainty requires a different approach to support decision-making than traditional science has been offering to date. The last decades have shown that in order to support knowledge-based decision-making and to solve problems, knowledge and experience from different actors have to be taken into account through participatory approaches, including both traditional science and the general public.
