The Ecological Society of America (ESA) will hold an interdisciplinary workshop to engage many disciplines and types of practitioners to co-design the scientific framework for Earth Stewardship, an effort to engage scientific knowledge in societal decision making about sustainable futures. ESA has hosted four meetings involving academics and practitioners in social, psychological and physical sciences, religion and ethics, urban design and regional planning, and civil engineering. These exploratory meetings revealed a widespread professional concern with stewardship of the Earth?s life support and socio-ecological systems. This award will support a workshop to leverage efforts in Earth stewardship. The objectives are to bring together academics within the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities along with practitioners in planning, design, engineering, government and civil society to develop a strategic plan for Earth stewardship and develop a strategy for learning, communicating and teaching about Earth stewardship. This effort is designed to complement the emerging science of sustainability by facilitating substantive intellectual exchange among disciplines concerned with the scholarship supporting stewardship.Many current efforts are aimed at applying scientific principles to solving problems of sustainability. The focus of this workshop is on stewardship, rather than on applying basic knowledge. Such stewardship is especially crucial with mounting global changes in the form of urbanization, human migration, population growth, global eutrophication and toxification, land use conversion on continental scales, and economic and resource dependency that cross international borders. The knowledge shared and pilot projects to be identified at the workshop will contribute to science, education, and the civic dialogue in ways that can shape more sustainable trajectories in an uncertain world.

美国生态学会(ESA)将举办一次跨学科研讨会，邀请许多学科和类型的从业人员共同设计地球管理的科学框架，努力让科学知识参与关于可持续未来的社会决策。欧空局主办了四次会议，有社会、心理和物理科学、宗教和伦理、城市设计和区域规划以及土木工程方面的学者和从业人员参加。这些探索性的会议揭示了对地球管理的广泛的专业关注--S，生命支持和社会生态系统。这一奖项将支持一个研讨会，以利用地球管理方面的努力。其目标是将自然科学、社会科学和人文科学领域的学者以及规划、设计、工程、政府和民间社会的实践者聚集在一起，制定一项地球管理战略计划，并制定一项关于地球管理的学习、交流和教学战略。这一努力旨在通过促进与支持管理的学术相关的学科之间的实质性知识交流来补充新兴的可持续发展科学。目前的许多努力旨在应用科学原理来解决可持续发展问题。这次研讨会的重点是管理，而不是基本知识的应用。在城市化、人口迁移、人口增长、全球富营养化和毒化、大陆规模的土地利用转换以及跨越国界的经济和资源依赖等方面不断发生的全球变化中，这种管理尤为关键。研讨会上分享的知识和将确定的试点项目将以能够在不确定的世界中形成更可持续的轨迹的方式为科学、教育和公民对话做出贡献。
