The paper builds on the outcomes of the international conference \u201cWhat Role for Science in Crisis Times? Outlook in the Health, Environment, and Agriculture Interconnected Areas\u201d, held in Montpellier in 2022. To enhance science\u2019s contribution to crisis management, the paper emphasises the need for interdisciplinarity, where science is integrated across disciplines, and transdisciplinarity, which incorporates various societal actors and stakeholders. By co-designing and co-producing solutions with scientists, policymakers and affected populations, transdisciplinary science can contribute to integrated and cooperative decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are now living in a polycrisis world, where science should be playing a more engaged and active role,\u201d says Paul Shrivastava, Co-President of The Club of Rome, Professor of Management &amp; Organizations, The Pennsylvania State University and the lead author of the paper. \u201cIt should be more fluid, timely, and integrated with social and political decision-making.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The paper summarises the key actions to harness science to tackle crises, which include implementing interventions on both global and local scales, engaging the public, democratising science, adopting new governance frameworks, and integrating community engagement. It also highlights the importance of aligning science-based interventions with cultural norms and increasing the engagement with countries suffering from unequal access to scicence.<\/p>\n<p>The authors stress that the effort needs to come from both directions\u2014political leaders need to proactively engage with scientists and rely on evidence-based solutions, while scientists need to seek access points to connect with crisis responders and affected populations. The latter could be encouraged by rewarding scientists for their real-world contributions within the academic system and increasing funding for research with a direct crisis impact.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Science has identified the existential threats we face, but this knowledge is often ignored, contested, or slowly acted upon. It\u2019s time to flip the science model and mobilise significant resources for the benefit of people and the planet,&#8221; says Carlos Alvarez Pereira secretary general of The Club of Rome and co-author of the study. \u201cThat is why The Club of Rome and partners established the Earth-Humanity Coalition \u2014 a global network that encourages transformative research and action at all levels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eurekalert.org\/news-releases\/1061701\">EurekAlert<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/144606\/\">Harnessing science to tackle global crises<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,16604,16605,898],"class_list":["post-134817","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-global-crises","tag-harnessing-science","tag-tackle"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134817"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134817\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
