Breakout discussion on phase II – What do we mean by ‘optimisation’? How to balance competing aspects and interests in decision making to reach holistic, inclusive and sustainable decisions?

Breakout discussions on three specific questions applied to the decision phase:

a) What are competing aspects at play? How to best balance them?

b) What mechanisms work best to transparently involve stakeholders in the process of balancing competing aspects?

c) Making one decision after listening to all points of view: When and how to agree to disagree?

Above questions should lead to conclusions on commonalities and differences across sectors, as well as the elements of an optimal approach for being considered “holistic”, inclusive and sustainable.
