This project convenes a public workshop of social scientists to examine societal responses to environmental change. The workshop focuses particularly on the ways that societies mitigate the effects of environmental change and adapt to its impacts. The workshop committee is composed of members with diverse expertise in the social sciences, including sociology, anthropology, psychology, economics, and political science. A goal of the workshop is to advance societal capacities for responding to climate change at multiple geographical scales. Members of the workshop draw together diverse insights from the social, behavioral, and cognitive sciences to inform potential societal responses to the compounding and disruptive effects of environmental change and natural disasters. A product of the workshop is a published proceedings, which informs key stakeholders and the broader public of the presentations, discussions, and outcomes of the workshop.This workshop, convened by The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, addresses the ways that social science insights can be leveraged to promote effective societal responses to environmental changes. The workshop highlights case studies, methods, and theory from a diversity of social science perspectives. Committee members address the ways that social and behavioral sciences can be further developed, integrated, and deployed to engender resilient and adaptive communities that can respond capably to the anticipated impacts on social and environmental systems. In considering a diverse range of cases, tools, and social-environmental contexts, the workshop is expected to be relevant to a wide range of critical societal challenges and opportunities posed by climate change at the local, regional, and national levels. The workshop also contributes to broadening participation in science by involving members with diverse orientations and career experiences.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.

该项目召集了一个社会科学家的公共讲习班，以审查社会对环境变化的反应。讲习班特别侧重于社会如何减轻环境变化的影响和适应其影响。研讨会委员会由具有社会科学（包括社会学、人类学、心理学、经济学和政治学）方面不同专业知识的成员组成。研讨会的一个目标是提高社会在多个地理范围应对气候变化的能力。研讨会的成员汇集了来自社会，行为和认知科学的不同见解，以告知潜在的社会应对环境变化和自然灾害的复合和破坏性影响。研讨会的成果之一是出版会议录，向主要利益相关者和广大公众通报研讨会的演讲、讨论和成果。本次研讨会由美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院召集，讨论如何利用社会科学的见解促进社会对环境变化的有效反应。该研讨会突出了案例研究，方法和理论从社会科学的角度的多样性。委员会成员讨论了社会和行为科学可以进一步发展，整合和部署的方式，以产生能够应对社会和环境系统预期影响的弹性和适应性社区。研讨会将审议各种各样的案例、工具和社会环境背景，预计研讨会将与气候变化在地方、区域和国家各级带来的一系列重大社会挑战和机遇相关。该研讨会还通过吸收具有不同方向和职业经验的成员来扩大科学参与。该奖项反映了NSF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。
