生态系统服务及其管理的内在复杂性阻碍了实现确保生态系统服务所需的政策和做法转变。参与式生产和知识交流的方法提供了一条途径,与生态系统服务的受益者和管理者一起驾驭这一复杂性。我们开发和应用基于社会-生态系统研究的知识共同生产方法,并评估其在为生态系统服务产生共享知识和行动方面的效用。这一方法在南非进行了四个案例研究,旨在降低与洪水、野火、风暴和干旱相关的灾害风险。不同配置的利益相关者(知识经纪人、评估团队、实施者和桥梁代理)参与了每项研究的协作设计、生成和交流知识以及规划实施。事实证明,这一办法有助于发展关于生态系统服务对减少灾害风险的重大贡献的共享知识。利益攸关方利用这一知识设计和实施了若干加强生态系统服务的行动,包括对生态系统恢复的新投资、私营和公共部门的体制改革以及科学、实践和政策的创新伙伴关系。通过将多个学科、部门和利益攸关方聚集在一起,共同产生理解和管理复杂系统所需的知识,知识共同生产方法为改进将生态系统服务纳入决策提供了一条有效的途径。
Achieving the policy and practice shifts needed to secure ecosystem services is hampered by the inherent complexities of ecosystem services and their management. Methods for the participatory production and exchange of knowledge offer an avenue to navigate this complexity together with the beneficiaries and managers of ecosystem services. We develop and apply a knowledge coproduction approach based on social–ecological systems research and assess its utility in generating shared knowledge and action for ecosystem services. The approach was piloted in South Africa across four case studies aimed at reducing the risk of disasters associated with floods, wildfires, storm waves, and droughts. Different configurations of stakeholders (knowledge brokers, assessment teams, implementers, and bridging agents) were involved in collaboratively designing each study, generating and exchanging knowledge, and planning for implementation. The approach proved useful in the development of shared knowledge on the sizable contribution of ecosystem services to disaster risk reduction. This knowledge was used by stakeholders to design and implement several actions to enhance ecosystem services, including new investments in ecosystem restoration, institutional changes in the private and public sector, and innovative partnerships of science, practice, and policy. By bringing together multiple disciplines, sectors, and stakeholders to jointly produce the knowledge needed to understand and manage a complex system, knowledge coproduction approaches offer an effective avenue for the improved integration of ecosystem services into decision making.
