项目摘要

The Stern and Dasgupta reviews on the economics of climate change and biodiversity respectively make clear, wealth creation, ecosystem health, and quality of life are inextricably linked. The UK government is committed to showing global leadership in climate change and biodiversity (and in their intersection) building on commitment that will be made in 2021 for climate change at Glasgow (COP26) and biodiversity at Kunming (COP15). Furthermore, the UK government's 25-Year Environment Plan includes the pledge to leave the environment in a better state than it is in now, while the Environment Bill currently going through parliament commits the government to set legally enforceable targets for different areas including climate, air quality, water quality, land management and biodiversity. Within these broad areas, there are numerous decisions requiring scientific input that have to be made in short timeframes (6-12 months). However, Universities are adept at doing excellent research within the typical three to five years projects, and UKRI is highly skilled at selecting the most promising of these projects. This presents the problem of delivering interdisciplinary research (IDR) with stakeholders to address challenges and provide tangible outcomes and environmental solutions within much shorter public and private sector policy cycles. The challenge we identify for this call is urgency and rapid delivery of IDR to provide a clear path from discovery to translation and impact.Our approach within AGILE is to build capacity within Oxford University to rapidly bring together IDR, and identify evidence-based solutions to major social and environmental challenges. AGILE is composed three overarching goals.First is delivering a collection of Sprint projects, characterized by policy pull for their socio-economic importance, timeliness for policy and practice, co-creation with stakeholders, and researchers with the capability to communicate effectively across boundaries to adopt a whole systems approach. Goal 1 will deliver five central objectives: 1) Demand-led Sprint formulation through engagement with stakeholders, 2) Convene Sprint teams to set tangible outcomes and robust action plans, 3) Monitor and evaluate progress to accelerate projects ensuring optimal deployment of resources, 4) Creation of a body of knowledge on effective approaches to IDR and the capability of IDR researchers, to be embedded in the university culture and shared with UKRI, and crucially 5) Uptake partnerships and reformulation to ensure implementable solutions.Second is to create a critical mass of IDR researchers, through 1) capturing lessons learned from these Sprints and translating them into training opportunities for the wider research community, 2) building a community of IDR researchers through shared learning and ongoing engagement with the programme and policy-makers, and 3) and enabling rapid development of AGILE teams creating capability and supporting career development.Third is the AGILE legacy, of creating a culture shift in the way universities evaluate IDR and work towards ensuring the outputs of IDR are recognised as of equal value in recruitment and retention policies. This will ensure increased opportunities for funding and delivering excellent interdisciplinary research, with users, providing the evidence base for effective policy and practice, in a more realistic policy-cycle timeframe.AGILE will enable transformational change in the way high-quality interdisciplinary research informs decision-making on how we manage the natural environment in a rapidly warming world.

斯特恩和达斯古普塔分别对气候变化和生物多样性的经济学进行了评论，明确指出财富创造、生态系统健康和生活质量是密不可分的。英国政府致力于在气候变化和生物多样性（及其交叉点）方面展示全球领导力，这将建立在2021年格拉斯哥气候变化（COP 26）和昆明生物多样性（COP 15）的承诺基础上。此外，英国政府的25年环境计划包括承诺使环境处于比现在更好的状态，而目前正在议会审议的环境法案要求政府为不同领域制定法律可执行的目标，包括气候，空气质量，水质，土地管理和生物多样性。在这些广泛的领域内，有许多需要科学投入的决定必须在短时间内（6-12个月）作出。然而，大学擅长在典型的三到五年项目中进行出色的研究，UKRI非常擅长选择这些项目中最有前途的项目。这就提出了与利益攸关方开展跨学科研究（IDR）的问题，以应对挑战，并在更短的公共和私营部门政策周期内提供切实的成果和环境解决方案。我们认为，这一呼吁的挑战是迫切需要快速交付IDR，以提供从发现到转化和影响的清晰路径。我们在AGILE的方法是在牛津大学内部建立能力，以快速汇集IDR，并确定以证据为基础的解决方案，以应对重大的社会和环境挑战。AGILE由三个总体目标组成。首先是提供一系列Sprint项目，其特点是政策拉动其社会经济重要性，政策和实践的及时性，与利益相关者的共同创造，以及具有跨边界有效沟通能力的研究人员，以采用整体系统方法。目标1将实现五个核心目标：1）通过与利益相关者的接触，以需求为导向制定Sprint，2）召集Sprint团队，以制定切实的成果和强有力的行动计划，3）监测和评估进展，以加速项目，确保资源的最佳部署，4）创建关于IDR有效方法和IDR研究人员能力的知识体系，融入大学文化并与UKRI分享，至关重要的是5）吸收合作伙伴关系和重新制定，以确保可实施的解决方案。其次是通过1）从这些Sprint中吸取教训并将其转化为更广泛的研究社区的培训机会，2）通过与项目和政策制定者的共同学习和持续参与，建立IDR研究人员社区; 3）促进AGILE团队的快速发展，创造能力并支持职业发展。第三是AGILE遗产，在大学评估IDR的方式上创造一种文化转变，并努力确保IDR的产出在招聘中被认为具有同等价值，保留政策。这将确保增加资助和提供优秀的跨学科研究的机会，与用户一起，在更现实的政策周期时间框架内为有效的政策和实践提供证据基础。AGILE将在高质量的跨学科研究为我们如何在快速变暖的世界中管理自然环境的决策提供信息的方式上实现转型变革。
