After people face the reality of climate change, they tend to come up with a much wider range of potential management actions. I think of a RAD brainstorming session like throwing a pot of freshly cooked spaghetti at the wall; if you don\u2019t throw out some wild ideas, you\u2019ll never find the one that sticks.\u201d - Nicole Ward, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources"

     "text": "Ecosystems are transforming under climate change, with substantial shifts in ecological processes and important ecosystem services occurring at unprecedented rates. As systems approach socio-economic and ecological thresholds, our current management toolbox has proved to be incomplete for conservation and the sustainable provision of ecosystem services, including fisheries production and the wildlife habitat. Multiple approaches are therefore needed to address the varying uncertainties we face in this increasingly non-stationary world. Managers navigating ecosystem transformation can benefit from considering broader objectives beyond a traditional focus on resisting ecosystem change, by also considering whether accepting change or directing it along a preferred pathway might be more appropriate (RAD framework)."

Still, there is great uncertainty in the changes to come and the path forward is unclear. The scientific community can help decision-makers by increasing its understanding of how ecosystems will transform. After identifying both the desirable and unacceptable potential outcomes, managers can develop appropriate actions, all the while remaining flexible in their approach as they learn more. Today\u2019s leadership and decision making can improve our ability to respond to ecosystem transformation by supporting efforts to understand the trajectories of change, the efficacy of current management approaches, and the best design practices for resisting and directing transformation in order to achieve desired ecosystem goals."
