项目摘要

This project aims to serve the nation by mobilizing the social and behavioral sciences to address social, political, economic, and equity dimensions of environmental challenges. The Board on Environmental Change and Society (BECS) draws on nationally recognized experts from different disciplines and practitioner communities to identify and inform solutions for the increasingly urgent and complex challenges facing the nation and the world at the intersection of environmental change and society. BECS provides a unique platform for objective, independent, and rigorous deliberation among researchers, the public, the media, Congress, professional associations, the National Science Foundation, and other federal agencies. Activities such as consensus studies, workshops, expert meetings, seminars, and virtual events in response to societal needs and explicit requests from federal agencies and other sponsors are the foundation of the Board’s work. Topical areas include climate change, environmental shocks to social systems, energy transitions, the rural/urban divide, land-use changes, and advancing new lines of research to provide benefits to society through advancing partnerships and collaborations between the natural and social sciences. The following themes will be addressed in the three years covered by this award: identifying new lines of cross-cutting research; increasing greater coordination and integration across solution areas; and advancing community engagement so that solutions more comprehensively address community needs and equity issues. Among the complex scientific challenges faced by the government and society at large, better insight into the interactions between human activities and the environment is paramount. The social and behavioral sciences are the foundation for advancing knowledge about how people and societies behave and interact while both responding to and contributing to global environmental change. By joining the social sciences and natural sciences to examine such interactions, BECS provides a unique forum for advancing scientific knowledge while informing solutions to improve societal well-being.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目旨在通过动员社会和行为科学来解决环境挑战的社会、政治、经济和公平层面，从而服务于国家。环境变化与社会委员会(BECS)吸收了来自不同学科和从业者社区的国家公认的专家，以确定和提供解决方案，以应对国家和世界在环境变化和社会的交汇点上面临的日益紧迫和复杂的挑战。BECS为研究人员、公众、媒体、国会、专业协会、国家科学基金会和其他联邦机构提供了一个客观、独立和严格的审议平台。协商一致研究、讲习班、专家会议、研讨会和虚拟活动等活动是委员会工作的基础，以回应社会需求和联邦机构及其他赞助者的明确要求。专题领域包括气候变化、对社会制度的环境冲击、能源转型、城乡鸿沟、土地利用的变化，以及通过促进自然科学和社会科学之间的伙伴关系与合作，推动新的研究方向以造福社会。该奖项涵盖的三年将涉及以下主题：确定交叉研究的新路线；加强解决方案领域的协调和整合；促进社区参与，以便解决方案更全面地解决社区需求和公平问题。在政府和整个社会面临的复杂的科学挑战中，更好地了解人类活动与环境之间的相互作用是至关重要的。社会和行为科学是增进关于人和社会如何行为和互动的知识的基础，同时也是对全球环境变化的反应和贡献。通过加入社会科学和自然科学来研究这种相互作用，BECS提供了一个独特的论坛，在促进科学知识的同时提供改善社会福祉的解决方案。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
