Environmental Uncertainty: Foundations, Theories and Applications synthesizes theories from systems thinking, complexity science, resilience theory, risk and vulnerability analysis, governance studies, and behavioral decision science. It bridges ecological and social dimensions, integrates global perspectives, and provides a coherent framework for managing unpredictable environmental futures. Special attention is given to uncertainty in climate extremes, land-use change, pollution, food and water systems, and public health-domains where decision-makers urgently require conceptual clarity. The book functions both as a foundational reference and a practical guide for scientists, engineers, policymakers, and graduate students seeking to understand and operationalize uncertainty in environmental research, planning, and sustainable development.

• Provides the first comprehensive conceptual and theoretical framework to address environmental uncertainty across various disciplines, including environmental science, sustainability, and risk governance.
• Includes multi-scale case studies from around the world, offering practical tools and models for addressing uncertainty in climate policy, land management, pollution control, food systems, and water security.
• Offers ready-to-use tools and conceptual models directly applicable to urgent policy domains including climate adaptation, land management, pollution control, and food and water security.
