Consilience definition

Consilience means “ ‘the jumping’ together of knowledge by the linking of facts and fact-based theory across disciplines to create a common groundwork of explanation”.19 More simply put, it refers to the unification of knowledge from the three great branches of learning (the arts, humanities, and sciences) to foster an intellectual and comprehensive understanding of events and issues.20 “Consilience” becomes increasingly important as issues become more complex and require the application of sufficiently informed opinions and knowledge from outside the traditional policy/legal domain. It is a neutral term, unencumbered with connotations, interpretations, and “baggage” from prior usage. It can be used to describe a specific process to foster effective management of MDLBA, or, more aptly, all environmental issues.
