Abstract
Ecological economists excel at deliberating the strengths and weaknesses of different ways of framing a problem and incorporating insights from the multiple separate ways we understand complex problems. The broad findings of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment arose through such a deliberative approach between experts with different analytical frameworks, scientific findings, and personal knowledge. The collective deliberative processes in science that lead to shared judgments can serve as a model for deliberative democracy.
