I believe that decisions that impact a certain group of individuals should be made with that group's perspectives in mind. This seems like a very obvious idea but as we saw with the sea otter story, this is often overlooked when decisions are made. I envision a world where decisions are made after including thoughts from all parties that may be impacted by said decision. I also think that the amount of say a certain group has towards that decision should be somehow correlated to the extent they will feel the effects of the decision. A way to achieve this could be as simple as having representatives from under-voiced communities present when decision-making is taking place to provide their perspective on the situation and this will lead to less adverse harmful effects on communities. Along with all of this, I also believe the effects these decisions have on the environment should be accounted for as well to reduce the negative effects on the environment itself.

Hi Gunkaar, what if different parties have different goals they want to achieve in the decision-making? for example, what if a poor party only considers the profits and an environmental organization only considers the environmental impacts, how does decision-making balance their request? still, there are not only 2 parties involved in decision-making. if every party has different goals, what are the trade-offs?
