Mitigating Wicked Problems Through Sustainable Technological Innovation? The Case of Liquid Natural Clay

Abstract

The complexity and wicked nature of climate change and the wide variety of its effects has created high uncertainty, knowledge gaps and ambiguities in relation to how to deal, manage, and cope with these issues. The solution alternatives seem ill formulated and ambiguous, and a high variety of actors with different values and visions, enhance these ambiguities, creating more uncertainty. In the face of these problems, the following research study aims to improve the approaches related to the solution alternatives to tackle them, by exploring and applying different elements and embedded in risk governance principles and other recommendations obtained from risk science, and putting them in practice through the analysis of the development and implementation of sustainable technological innovation product, corresponding to Liquid Natural Clay.
