Abstract
Chapter 5, A Systemic Decision-Support Framework, establishes key and contextual questions related to each component of STEEP as a framework to guide decision-making at all scales on a systemically connected basis. This framework is proposed to inform decision-making from a systemic context in pursuit of genuinely sustainable, resource-conserving and equitable, regenerative socio-ecological systems, or at least to promote progress from current practice towards that ideal goal cognisant of shortfalls and areas for further research, reform and improvement. The framework has relevance to decision-making across all major societal policy areas, the chapter providing applied examples not only within policy areas but importantly of integration between them.
