非技术抽象关于利用自然的决定反映了个人、社区和整个社会的价值观和权利。自然的价值通过文化规范、规则和立法来表达，可以使用包括经济学在内的各种工具来得出这些价值。没有一种引导人们价值观的方法是中立的。不平等的权力关系影响评价和决策，是大多数环境冲突的核心。作为可持续发展思想的行动者，环境科学家和从业人员越来越意识到自己的立场、规范立场、责任和社会中的相对权力。基于一个跨学科的研讨会，我们的观点文件提供了一个规范的基础上，这个新的社区的科学家和从业人员从事的多元估值的nature.Technical abstractDuring在墨西哥的瓦哈卡举行的研讨会，一个共同的愿景，使命和战略，以促进更多元的自然价值的开发。与会者代表了广泛的背景，并积极参与科学，政策和从业人员网络和活动。它们的共同点是，认识到必须改变目前关于如何重视自然并随后加以管理的文化，这是迈向一个更公正和可持续的世界的重要一步。在一次公开全体会议上，确定了讲习班的目标，听取了与会者的不同观点和背景，之后，分组拟订了共同愿景的组成部分、使命和对自然进行多元评价的战略。因此，这些组成部分在全体会议上进行了讨论，并合并成一个协商一致的案文，对案文进行了进一步的辩论，并商定了其主要组成部分。我们共同观点的汇编汇集成一个规范性呼吁和观点，与我们的同行分享。研讨会期间产生的信息由研讨会所有与会者/共同作者协作综合、修订、审查和验证。我们的信息旨在促进多元估值方法作为一个科学政策领域，以及提高研究人员和从业人员对隐性不平等和权力问题的个人意识。
Non-technical abstractDecisions on the use of nature reflect the values and rights of individuals, communities and society at large. The values of nature are expressed through cultural norms, rules and legislation, and they can be elicited using a wide range of tools, including those of economics. None of the approaches to elicit peoples' values are neutral. Unequal power relations influence valuation and decision-making and are at the core of most environmental conflicts. As actors in sustainability thinking, environmental scientists and practitioners are becoming more aware of their own posture, normative stance, responsibility and relative power in society. Based on a transdisciplinary workshop, our perspective paper provides a normative basis for this new community of scientists and practitioners engaged in the plural valuation of nature.Technical abstractDuring a workshop held in Oaxaca, Mexico, a shared vision, mission and strategies to foster a more plural valuation of nature were developed. The participants represent a wide range of backgrounds and are active in science, policy and practitioner networks and activities. Their common ground is the recognition of the need to change the prevailing culture of how nature is valued and subsequently managed as an essential step towards a more just and sustainable world. After an open plenary session in which the goal of the workshop was determined and the diverse perspectives and backgrounds of the participants were heard, breakout groups developed the components of a shared vision, mission and strategies for plural valuation of nature. Consequently, these components were discussed back in plenary and consolidated into a consensus text, which was further debated and its main building blocks agreed upon. The compilation of our shared views converged into a normative call and perspective to share with our peers. The information generated throughout the workshop was collaboratively synthesized, amended, reviewed and validated by all workshop participants/co-authors. Our message aims to contribute to advancing plural valuation approaches as a science-policy field, as well as to raise personal awareness among researchers and practitioners on implicit inequality and power issues.
