Nature-based solutions: ontology, knowledge and expertise in the Anthropocene

这个项目借鉴了重要的社会科学--特别是人文地理学和科学技术研究--将调查“自然”一词在气候话语中的运用方式，并研究该术语如何被用来建立政治权力和经济利益。它将考察哪些知识、本体论和认识论(非专业、专家、自然科学和政治)正在塑造国家科学体系，并着手回答以下研究问题：1.不同认识群体在制定气候变化解决方案时如何使用‘自然’一词？2.不同类型的知识和专业知识如何影响国家科学体系的发展和实施？

Drawing from critical social science - specifically Human Geography and Science and Technology Studies - this project will investigate the ways the term 'nature' is mobilized in climate discourse, and research how the term can be used to establish political power and economic benefit. It will examine which knowledges, ontologies and epistemologies (lay, expert, natural science, political) are shaping NBS, and sets out to answer these research questions: 1. How is the term 'nature' used by different epistemic groups in framing solutions to climate change?2. How do different types of knowledge and expertise shape the development and implementation of NBS?
