Meeting US and international climate goals will require sweeping changes to the global energy system through sustained and historic levels of innovation and infrastructure deployment in a period of less than 30 years. While all sectors of the economy must transition, the industrial sector is perhaps the most challenging. This sector accounts for nearly a quarter of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and more than 16% of U.S. GDP. How can the social and behavioral sciences help to accelerate this industrial decarbonization in an efficient and equitable way from the perspective of both the economy and the climate? The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) will appoint a committee to convene an expert group for a public workshop to explore and assess an integrated social and behavioral science research agenda to address this question. A proceedings will be published and disseminated to inform policy and decision makers and the broader public of the presentations, discussions, and outcomes of the workshop. To address how to advance the social and behavioral tools for effective and equitable transition of key industrial sectors (e.g., chemical manufacture, iron and steel, hydrogen production, carbon capture and storage), high-level papers will be commissioned by leading researchers and practitioners in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences and industry. These papers will be presented in Part I of the workshop, and debated and discussed in Part II, with the aim of advancing a priority action research agenda for industrial decarbonization. The proceedings of this workshop are expected to be of broad interest and impact to policy and decision-makers in the public and private sector charged with moving the US industrial sector toward decarbonization while maintaining a thriving economy and society.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.

要实现美国和国际的气候目标，需要在不到30年的时间里，通过持续的、历史性的创新和基础设施部署，对全球能源体系进行全面变革。虽然所有经济部门都必须转型，但工业部门可能是最具挑战性的。该行业占美国温室气体排放量的近四分之一，占美国GDP的16%以上。从经济和气候的角度来看，社会科学和行为科学如何以有效和公平的方式帮助加速这种工业脱碳？美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院（NASEM）将任命一个委员会，召集一个专家组，召开一个公共研讨会，探索和评估一个综合的社会和行为科学研究议程，以解决这个问题。会议记录将出版和散发，以便向政策和决策者以及广大公众通报讲习班的介绍、讨论和成果。为了解决如何推进社会和行为工具，以实现关键工业部门（如化学制造、钢铁、氢气生产、碳捕获和储存）的有效和公平转型，社会、行为和经济科学和工业领域的主要研究人员和实践者将委托撰写高水平论文。这些文件将在讲习班的第一部分提出，并在第二部分进行辩论和讨论，目的是推进工业脱碳的优先行动研究议程。预计本次研讨会的会议记录将对公共和私营部门的政策和决策者产生广泛的兴趣和影响，这些政策和决策者负责推动美国工业部门走向脱碳，同时保持经济和社会的繁荣。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。
