Integrating the Human Sciences to Scale Societal Responses to Environmental Change: A Workshop

这个项目召集了一个社会科学家的公共研讨会来研究社会对环境变化的反应。讲习班特别侧重于社会如何减轻环境变化的影响并适应其影响。研讨会委员会由社会学、人类学、心理学、经济学、政治学等社会科学领域的专家组成。研讨会的一个目标是提高在多个地理尺度上应对气候变化的社会能力。研讨会的成员汇集了来自社会、行为和认知科学的不同见解，以告知对环境变化和自然灾害的复合和破坏性影响的潜在社会反应。研讨会的成果是已出版的会议记录，向主要利益相关者和广大公众通报研讨会的介绍、讨论和成果。本次研讨会由美国国家科学院、工程院和医学院召集，讨论如何利用社会科学的见解来促进对环境变化的有效社会反应。工作坊从不同的社会科学角度，突出个案研究、方法和理论。委员会成员讨论如何进一步发展、整合和部署社会和行为科学，以建立有弹性和适应性的社区，能够对社会和环境系统的预期影响作出有能力的反应。考虑到各种不同的案例、工具和社会环境背景，该研讨会有望在地方、区域和国家层面上与气候变化带来的广泛的关键社会挑战和机遇相关。讲习班还通过让具有不同取向和职业经验的成员参加，有助于扩大对科学的参与。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。

This project convenes a public workshop of social scientists to examine societal responses to environmental change. The workshop focuses particularly on the ways that societies mitigate the effects of environmental change and adapt to its impacts. The workshop committee is composed of members with diverse expertise in the social sciences, including sociology, anthropology, psychology, economics, and political science. A goal of the workshop is to advance societal capacities for responding to climate change at multiple geographical scales. Members of the workshop draw together diverse insights from the social, behavioral, and cognitive sciences to inform potential societal responses to the compounding and disruptive effects of environmental change and natural disasters. A product of the workshop is a published proceedings, which informs key stakeholders and the broader public of the presentations, discussions, and outcomes of the workshop.This workshop, convened by The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, addresses the ways that social science insights can be leveraged to promote effective societal responses to environmental changes. The workshop highlights case studies, methods, and theory from a diversity of social science perspectives. Committee members address the ways that social and behavioral sciences can be further developed, integrated, and deployed to engender resilient and adaptive communities that can respond capably to the anticipated impacts on social and environmental systems. In considering a diverse range of cases, tools, and social-environmental contexts, the workshop is expected to be relevant to a wide range of critical societal challenges and opportunities posed by climate change at the local, regional, and national levels. The workshop also contributes to broadening participation in science by involving members with diverse orientations and career experiences.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.
