采取行动应对气候变化的理由现在很有说服力。发达国家必须减少温室气体排放量最多,本文重点介绍了这样一个国家-英国。我们致力于解决与建筑环境脱碳相关的问题,特别是住房存量。我们展示了潜在的重大意外后果,并讨论了试图了解这些过程所涉及的复杂性。我们认为,迫切需要形成多学科和跨学科的团队,需要各种各样的技能组合,共同思考和解决这些问题。这样的团队必须包括(至少)建筑物理学家,工程师,经济学家,流行病学家。统计学家,行为科学家,复杂性科学家和政策制定者。如果没有一个协调一致的有关研究方案,很难想象如何有效地制定和执行必要的政策,而不可能犯下巨大和不可逆转的错误。(c)2011爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The case for taking action to tackle climate change is now persuasive. It is developed countries that must reduce GHG emissions most and this paper focuses on one such country - the UK. We address issues associated with the decarbonisation of the built environment and the housing stock in particular. We demonstrate the potential for significant unintended consequences and discuss the complexity involved in attempting to understand such processes. We argue the urgent need for the formation of multi- and inter-disciplinary teams with the diverse range of skill sets required to think together and to address these issues. Such teams must involve (at least) Building Physicists, Engineers, Economists, Epidemiologists. Statisticians, Behavioural Scientists, Complexity Scientists and Policy Makers. Without a coordinated and concerted programme of relevant research it is difficult to imagine how the necessary policy will be formulated and implemented effectively without the potential for enormous and irreversible mistakes.
