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.

关于气候变化和生物多样性经济学的严厉和达斯古普（Dasgupta）评论分别表明了清晰，创造财富，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2021年在格拉斯哥（COP26）（COP26）和Kunming的生物多样性（COP15）实现承诺的全球领导地位（以及在其交叉路口）建立的承诺。此外，英国政府的25年环境计划包括保证以比现在更好的状态离开环境，而目前通过议会进行的环境法案则承诺政府为包括气候，空气质量，水质，土地管理和生物多样性在内的不同领域的合法可执行目标设定了可强制执行的目标。在这些广泛的领域中，有许多需要科学意见的决定，必须在短时间内（6-12个月）做出。但是，大学擅长在典型的三到五年项目中进行出色的研究，乌克里擅长选择这些项目中最有希望的。这提出了与利益相关者一起提供跨学科研究（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结果和环境解决方案。我们对此呼吁所面临的挑战是紧迫性和IDR的快速交付，以提供从发现到翻译和影响的清晰途径。我们敏捷内的方法是在牛津大学内建立能力，以迅速将IDR汇集在一起，并确定基于证据的解决方案，以应对重大的社会和环境挑战。敏捷是三个总体目标。首先，正在提供一系列Sprint项目，其特征是政策以其社会经济的重要性，对政策和实践的及时性，与利益相关者共同创造的及时性，以及与研究人员共同创造的，具有有效跨越边界采用整个系统方法的能力。 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）接收伙伴关系和重新制定以确保可实施的解决方案。第二，通过1）通过1）从这些冲刺中学到的经验教训，并将其转化为更广泛的研究社区的培训机会，2）通过共享的学习和持续的互动，并促进敏捷的成果，建立IDR研究人员的社区遗产，建立大学评估IDR的方式的文化转变，并致力于确保IDR的产出在招聘和保留政策中被认为是同等价值的。这将确保更多的资金机会和提供出色的跨学科研究的机会，用户在更现实的政策周期时间范围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中实现变革的变革，使高质量的跨层次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如何管理。
