大量研究现在表明，气候可能对冲突起到了重要作用。然而，这种与气候冲突有关的学术研究涉及不同的发现，有时存在尖锐的分歧，从而限制了该学术对政策制定者和实践者的可用性。这篇观点文章借鉴了最近对气候-冲突联系的专家评估，以更广泛地将该研究领域置于气候变化研究和评估之中。我们探索来自气候领域的潜在见解。与气候变化研究通常的情况一样，科学-社会动态是气候与冲突学术所固有的。它们促成了关于知识状态的争论，如何最好地描述它，以及它对社会选择和投资的影响。我们的批评基于评估跨不同学科的与政策相关的气候变化评估的文献，从海平面上升适应科学到能源系统建模。通过与这些领域的比较，这篇观点文章考虑了气候冲突知识生产的几个含义。我们特别审查了整合不同证据线以了解应对社会相关不确定性和优先事项的风险以及鼓励研究人员、从业者和政策制定者之间互动的必要性。其他气候变化学科的经验可以为气候、冲突和安全学术的潜在方向提供灵感。它们包括整合潜在证据的风险框架，以及支持研究人员和社会之间互动的选项。
A large body of research now indicates that climate likely matters for conflict. This climate–conflict scholarship, however, has involved divergent findings, sometimes strident disagreement, and resulting limits to the usability of the scholarship for policymakers and practitioners. This viewpoint essay draws from recent expert assessments of climate–conflict linkages to position the research field among climate change research and assessment more broadly. We explore potential insights from the climate realm. As is often the case for climate change research, science–society dynamics are inherent in scholarship on climate and conflict. They contribute to contestation about the state of knowledge, the best ways to characterize it, and its implications for societal choices and investments. Our critique is grounded in the literature evaluating policy-relevant climate change assessment across diverse disciplines, from sea-level-rise adaptation science to energy-system modeling. Through comparisons with such fields, this perspective article considers several implications for climate–conflict knowledge production. We examine, in particular, the necessity of integrating diverse lines of evidence to understand the risks of responding to societally relevant uncertainties and priorities, and of encouraging interactions among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. The experiences of other climate change disciplines can provide inspiration for potential directions for climate, conflict, and security scholarship. They include risk framings in integrating underlying evidence, through to options for supporting the interactions among researchers and societies.
