Summary
Section 10.1 calls for work that strengthens the foundations for planning under uncertainty in three ways: communicating uncertainty, specifying planning problems, and enhancing the tractability of decision criteria. Among the many substantive problems that warrant study, Section 10.2 cites the immediate need for improved pandemic planning, whose salience society should appreciate following the recent global experience with COVID-19. Section 10.3 concludes with a personal perspective on an existential societal decision, making public a commentary that I wrote forty years ago but have not circulated until now.
