Developing and Assessing Ideas for Social and Behavioral Research to Speed Efficient and Equitable Industrial Decarbonization: A Workshop

要实现美国和国际气候目标，就需要在不到30年的时间里，通过持续的、历史性的创新和基础设施部署，对全球能源体系进行彻底变革。尽管所有经济部门都必须转型，但工业部门可能是最具挑战性的。该部门占美国温室气体排放量的近四分之一，占美国GDP的16%以上。从经济和气候的角度来看，社会科学和行为科学如何帮助以高效和公平的方式加速这一工业脱碳？美国国家科学、工程和医学研究院(NASEM)将任命一个委员会，为公共研讨会召集一个专家组，以探索和评估综合社会和行为科学研究议程，以解决这一问题。将出版和传播会议记录，让政策制定者和决策者以及更广泛的公众了解研讨会的介绍、讨论和成果。为了解决如何促进关键工业部门(如化工制造、钢铁、氢气生产、碳捕获和储存)有效和公平过渡的社会和行为工具，将委托社会、行为和经济科学和行业的领先研究人员和从业者撰写高水平的论文。这些文件将在讲习班的第一部分介绍，并在第二部分进行辩论和讨论，目的是推进工业脱碳的优先行动研究议程。该研讨会的进程预计将引起公共和私营部门的政策制定者和决策者的广泛兴趣和影响，这些决策者负责推动美国工业部门走向脱碳，同时保持经济和社会的繁荣。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Meeting US and international climate goals will require sweeping changes to the global energy system through sustained and historic levels of innovation and infrastructure deployment in a period of less than 30 years. While all sectors of the economy must transition, the industrial sector is perhaps the most challenging. This sector accounts for nearly a quarter of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions and more than 16% of U.S. GDP. How can the social and behavioral sciences help to accelerate this industrial decarbonization in an efficient and equitable way from the perspective of both the economy and the climate? The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) will appoint a committee to convene an expert group for a public workshop to explore and assess an integrated social and behavioral science research agenda to address this question. A proceedings will be published and disseminated to inform policy and decision makers and the broader public of the presentations, discussions, and outcomes of the workshop. To address how to advance the social and behavioral tools for effective and equitable transition of key industrial sectors (e.g., chemical manufacture, iron and steel, hydrogen production, carbon capture and storage), high-level papers will be commissioned by leading researchers and practitioners in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences and industry. These papers will be presented in Part I of the workshop, and debated and discussed in Part II, with the aim of advancing a priority action research agenda for industrial decarbonization. The proceedings of this workshop are expected to be of broad interest and impact to policy and decision-makers in the public and private sector charged with moving the US industrial sector toward decarbonization while maintaining a thriving economy and society.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.
