Collaborative Research: GCR: Generating Actionable Research to Investigate Combined Climate Intervention Strategies for Stakeholder Use

本项目探讨了包括减缓、二氧化碳清除和太阳辐射管理在内的一系列综合气候干预战略如何实现气候适应型未来。重点是与气候结果有关的科学研究活动，这些活动应响应不同利益相关者群体的优先事项和需求。这个融合团队包括来自气候科学、工程学、行为科学和生态学的专家。这个跨学科小组将致力于改变气候干预的研究格局，使其转向更综合的研究和评估方法。这将通过为情景生成、模型应用、影响评估和利益相关者转换建立共享的概念和理论框架来实现。项目有三个主要目标：1)通过探索与CMIP6基线路径保持升温在1.5℃以内相一致的一系列气候干预情景的假设、模式缺陷、相互作用和影响评估方法，以及基于项目研究者已经开发的方法的气候干预情景，推进科学水平的气候干预研究；2)制定一种方法，通过广泛的利益相关者参与，共同生产地球系统评估的建模产品，以进一步对联合气候干预情景及其评估进行可操作的研究；3)设计情景和影响评估工具包，通过扩展和调整共同设计的情景和评估框架，使更广泛的社区参与调查响应其独特信息需求和优先事项的干预策略。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project explores how a portfolio of combined climate intervention strategies including mitigation, carbon dioxide removal, and solar radiation management could achieve a climate-resilient future. The focus is on scientific research activities concerned with climate outcomes that are responsive to the priorities and needs of diverse stakeholder groups. The convergent team encompasses experts from climate science, engineering, behavioral science and ecology. This interdisciplinary team will work to transform the climate interventions research landscape, moving it to more integrated approaches for research and assessments. This will be achieved through the establishment of a shared conceptual and theoretical framework for scenario generation, model application, impact assessment and stakeholder translation.The project has three main objectives: 1) Advancing state-of-science climate intervention studies through exploring the assumptions, model deficiencies, interactions, and impact assessment methods of a portfolio of climate intervention scenarios consistent with keeping warming within 1.5 degrees C from CMIP6 baseline pathways, with the climate intervention scenarios based on methods already developed by the project investigators; 2) Developing an approach for co-production of modeling products from Earth system evaluations through extensive stakeholder engagement to further actionable research into combined climate intervention scenarios and their evaluation; and 3) Designing scenario and impact assessment toolkits for the wider community to engage in investigating intervention strategies that are responsive to their unique information needs and priorities through the extension of and adaptation of the co-designed scenarios and assessment frameworks.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.
