<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><i><span style="color:#0000CC">Projects like highways, bridges, pipelines, and wildlife corridors exhibit indivisibilities—we need the whole thing to have anything of value. Many environmental and social goals
have a similar all-or-nothing character: staying above or below a certain critical threshold can make all the difference. This talk focuses on the role of visibility in addressing resource dilemmas that have this all-or-nothing structure. I examine how two
visibility-enhancing factors can help avoid catastrophic consequences and pursue desirable ones. The first involves recognizing when an indivisibility is present—that is, appreciating the vulnerability of resources to thresholds and cliff effects before it
is too late. The second involves seeing how individual decisions about resources stack together to generate outcomes, which can enable people to identify and pursue focal solutions. When a resource problem suffers from poor visibility—its shape is ill-defined
and contributions to addressing it are not well segmented—finding ways to clear the view can improve the prospects for cooperative solutions.
