创新对于应对气候变化至关重要。人们认识到，仅靠技术创新是不够的，我们建议更多地关注自下而上的社会创新领域的研究、政策和实践，如果将其纳入有关气候变化的研究和政策制定的更广泛考虑，可能会产生效益。将社会创新包括行为和生活方式的改变、通过新的业务和治理形式实现节能以及用户采用新技术解决方案，我们认为这些需要更多的研究、政策和支持。自下而上的创新源于实力较弱的参与者的互动，并满足主要利益相关者难以克服的监管、体制和资源障碍。同样，非技术创新的潜在节约未知或难以量化，也没有得到现有政策、法规、体制框架和基础设施的一致支持。如果没有政策干预，可能会错失许多节能减排创新的机会。
Innovation is essential for addressing climate change. It is recognised that technological innovation alone is insufficient, and we suggest that a greater focus on research, policy and practice in the area of bottom-up, social innovation could yield benefits if integrated into wider considerations of research and policy development concerning climate change. Taking social innovation to include behaviour and lifestyle changes, energy saving through new forms of business and governance, and users employing new technical solutions, we identify these as warranting more research, policy and support. Bottom-up innovation emerges from the interaction of less powerful actors and meets regulatory, institutional and resource barriers that its primary stakeholders have less ability to overcome. Similarly, non-technical innovation, where potential savings are unknown or hard to quantify, is not coherently supported by existing policies, regulations, institutional frameworks and infrastructures. Without policy intervention there could be many missed opportunities for energy and emission reducing innovations.
