Translating Science into Law Risk

项目摘要

The urgency to act on environmental degradation andglobal warming has been stressed time and again byscientists. In the field of international environmental law,science-policy interfaces (SPIs) represent the keystone ofany Multilateral Environmental Agreement (MEA) as theyare the fora where science is translated into law. Thus, SPIsare important bodies within international environmentallaw that provide key insight on how legal obligations areshaped out of scientific knowledge. My research looks athow different inputs from natural sciences and theirspecific risk and uncertainty discourse are redefined intolegal terminology and whether the weight given to them isthe same. My doctoral research answers the question 'howis scientific knowledge translated into legal obligations inscience-policy interfaces?' To answer this, my researchtakes a socio-legal approach, examining environmental lawthrough its interaction with social and natural sciences.Empirical research, namely case studies and semistructured interviews with SPI members, will come supportthese findings. This material will show how the discourse ofrisk and uncertainty is integrated - qualified and quantified- in scientific reports, findings, policy documents andrecommendations within SPIs. This research thus aims tounderstand the process of decision-making in SPIs and tobridge the gap often overlooked between science and law.

科学家们一再强调对环境恶化和全球变暖采取行动的紧迫性。在国际环境法领域，科学-政策接口（spi）是任何多边环境协定（MEA）的基石，因为它们是科学转化为法律的论坛。因此，spis是国际环境法中的重要机构，提供了关于法律义务如何从科学知识中形成的关键见解。我的研究着眼于自然科学的不同输入及其特定的风险和不确定性话语如何在非法术语中重新定义，以及赋予它们的权重是否相同。我的博士研究回答了“科学知识如何转化为科学与政策之间的法律义务？”为了回答这个问题，我的研究采用了社会法学的方法，通过与社会科学和自然科学的相互作用来研究环境法。实证研究，即案例研究和与SPI成员的半结构化访谈，将支持这些发现。本材料将展示如何将风险和不确定性的论述整合-合格和量化-在spi的科学报告，发现，政策文件和建议中。因此，本研究旨在了解spi的决策过程，并弥合科学与法律之间经常被忽视的差距。
