跨学科研究是解决全球环境变化带来的可持续发展挑战的一种有前景的方法，因为它的特点是一个迭代过程，将来自多个学术领域和社会不同部门的参与者聚集在一起，进行相互学习，共同创造新知识。我们提出了一个概念模型来指导环境跨学科工作的实施，我们将其视为“科学与社会”（SWS）方法，提供了在整个七步过程中进行的建议活动。我们对全球范围内参与环境跨学科工作的 168 名受访者进行了一项调查，以评估这些活动的相对重要性以及成功实施这些活动所需的技能和特征，同时关注受访者的性别、地理位置和立场的不同，反应也有所不同。灵活性和协作精神是 SWS 最受重视的技能，尽管非研究人员倾向于优先考虑谦逊、信任和耐心等属性，而不是灵活性。我们还探讨了 SWS 成功的障碍的相对重要性，发现时间不足和权力动态不平等是 SWS 成功的两个最重要的障碍。结合受访者最成功的 SWS 项目的案例研究，我们创建了一个包含 20 个最佳实践的工具箱，可用于克服障碍并增加 SWS 项目的社会和科学影响。在具有中度到高度政策影响的项目中，人们认为项目的成功率要高得多，并且与仅由研究人员发起的项目相比，由从业者/其他利益相关者发起的项目具有更大比例的高政策影响。向学术受众传达项目结果比向从业者或公众传达项目结果更频繁，尽管总体而言这一点的重要性较低。我们讨论这些结果如何为未来 SWS 提出三项建议：1）通过仔细的合作伙伴关系形成和设计来平衡不同的观点； 2）促进沟通、学习和反思（即质疑假设、信念和实践）以克服冲突和权力不对称； 3) 增加政策对科学和社会联合效益的影响。我们的研究强调了 SWS 多样性的好处——包括人员类型和知识以及所使用的方法——以及这种方法对于应对全球环境变化带来的日益复杂的挑战的潜在好处。
Transdisciplinary research is a promising approach to address sustainability challenges arising from global environmental change, as it is characterized by an iterative process that brings together actors from multiple academic fields and diverse sectors of society to engage in mutual learning with the intent to co-produce new knowledge. We present a conceptual model to guide the implementation of environmental transdisciplinary work, which we consider a “science with society” (SWS) approach, providing suggested activities to conduct throughout a seven-step process. We used a survey with 168 respondents involved in environmental transdisciplinary work worldwide to evaluate the relative importance of these activities and the skills and characteristics required to implement them successfully, with attention to how responses differed according to the gender, geographic location, and positionality of the respondents. Flexibility and collaborative spirit were the most frequently valued skills in SWS, though non-researchers tended to prioritize attributes like humility, trust, and patience over flexibility. We also explored the relative significance of barriers to successful SWS, finding insufficient time and unequal power dynamics were the two most significant barriers to successful SWS. Together with case studies of respondents’ most successful SWS projects, we create a toolbox of 20 best practices that can be used to overcome barriers and increase the societal and scientific impacts of SWS projects. Project success was perceived to be significantly higher where there was medium to high policy impact, and projects initiated by practitioners/other stakeholders had a larger proportion of high policy impact compared to projects initiated by researchers only. Communicating project results to academic audiences occurred more frequently than communicating results to practitioners or the public, despite this being ranked less important overall. We discuss how these results point to three recommendations for future SWS: 1) balancing diverse perspectives through careful partnership formation and design; 2) promoting communication, learning, and reflexivity (i.e., questioning assumptions, beliefs, and practices) to overcome conflict and power asymmetries; and 3) increasing policy impact for joint science and society benefits. Our study highlights the benefits of diversity in SWS - both in the types of people and knowledge included as well as the methods used - and the potential benefits of this approach for addressing the increasingly complex challenges arising from global environmental change.
