Workshop: Environmental Governance

环境治理需要人们及其地方、州和国家政府的参与，决策对各个司法管辖区都有影响。 社会科学、自然科学和物理科学等多个学科之间的合作对于我们了解如何根据最佳科学证据做出决策是必要的。 然而，尽管环境系统引起了整个科学界的兴趣，并且需要多学科的分析，但科学家们往往没有就如何最好地研究人们如何在复杂的环境系统中构成、互动和管理其行为的问题进行适当的合作。 该项目支持举办一个研讨会，该研讨会将发展跨科学领域的合作，涉及人们参与治理环境系统的选择，解决各级政府的治理选择和框架问题。 参与者将包括来自多个学科的工程师、社会科学家以及自然和物理科学家，他们的研究重点都与治理环境系统有关。 该研讨会将开发共同的合作和框架，以了解如何解释治理策略的变化。 这样做将有助于跨科学概念的发展。 此外，该项目的更广泛影响将包括为政府决策做出贡献，以及对学生进行有关科学合作和环境科学问题的培训。

Environmental governance requires participation by people and their local, state and national governments, and decisions have implications across jurisdictions. Cooperation across multiple disciplines from the social and natural and physical sciences is necessary to inform our understanding of how to make decisions based in the best scientific evidence. Yet although environmental systems are of interest across the sciences, and require analysis from multiple sciences, scientists often do not have the collaborations in place concerning how best to research questions of how people constitute, interact with and govern their behavior within complex environmental systems. This project supports a workshop that will develop collaborations across sciences concerning people's participation in choices about governing environmental systems, addressing governing choices and frameworks across scales of governments. Participants will include engineers, social scientists, and natural and physical scientists from multiple disciplines, all with research priorities concerning governing environmental systems. The workshop will develop collaborations and frameworks in common for understanding how to explain variation in governing strategies. In doing so, it will contribute to the development of concepts across the sciences. In addition, the project's broader impacts will include contributing to policymaking for governments, and training students in issues concerning scientific collaboration as well as environmental sciences.
