As much as environmental problems manifest themselves as problems with the natural environment, environmental problems — and their solutions — are ultimately social and behavioral in nature. Just as the natural sciences provide a basis for understanding the need for environmental policy and informing its design, the social sciences also contribute in significant ways to the understanding of the behavioral sources of environmental problems, both in terms of individual incentives and collective action challenges. In addition, the social sciences have contributed much to the understanding of the ways that laws and other institutions can be designed to solve environmental problems. In this paper, we distill core intellectual frameworks from among the social sciences that scaffold modern environmental policy in industrialized country contexts — focusing on key contributions principally from political science, economics, psychology, and sociology to the analysis of environmental problems and their solutions. These frameworks underlie how environmental problems are defined at multiple scales and the conceptualization and empirical testing of policy solutions that seek to shape human behavior in ways that improve environmental quality and promote sustainable economic growth. With the planet facing continued environmental threats, improving environmental policy decision making depends on the insights and frameworks of social science research in addition to those of the natural sciences.

社会科学与环境政策分析

尽管环境问题表现为自然环境问题,但环境问题及其解决方案本质上是社会和行为问题。正如自然科学为理解环境政策的需要和为其设计提供信息提供了基础,社会科学也以重要的方式为理解环境问题的行为根源做出了贡献,无论是在个人激励还是集体行动挑战方面。此外,社会科学对理解法律和其他机构解决环境问题的方式做出了很大贡献。在本文中,我们从支撑工业化国家背景下现代环境政策的社会科学中提炼出核心知识框架——主要关注政治学、经济学、心理学和社会学对环境问题分析及其解决方案的关键贡献。这些框架是如何在多个尺度上定义环境问题以及寻求以改善环境质量和促进可持续经济增长的方式塑造人类行为的政策解决方案的概念化和实证检验的基础。随着地球面临持续的环境威胁,除了自然科学的见解和框架之外,改善环境政策决策还取决于社会科学研究的见解和框架。经济学、心理学和社会学分析环境问题及其解决方案。这些框架是如何在多个尺度上定义环境问题以及寻求以改善环境质量和促进可持续经济增长的方式塑造人类行为的政策解决方案的概念化和实证检验的基础。随着地球面临持续的环境威胁,除了自然科学的见解和框架之外,改善环境政策决策还取决于社会科学研究的见解和框架。经济学、心理学和社会学分析环境问题及其解决方案。这些框架是如何在多个尺度上定义环境问题以及寻求以改善环境质量和促进可持续经济增长的方式塑造人类行为的政策解决方案的概念化和实证检验的基础。随着地球面临持续的环境威胁,除了自然科学的见解和框架之外,改善环境政策决策还取决于社会科学研究的见解和框架。这些框架是如何在多个尺度上定义环境问题以及寻求以改善环境质量和促进可持续经济增长的方式塑造人类行为的政策解决方案的概念化和实证检验的基础。随着地球面临持续的环境威胁,除了自然科学的见解和框架之外,改善环境政策决策还取决于社会科学研究的见解和框架。这些框架是如何在多个尺度上定义环境问题以及寻求以改善环境质量和促进可持续经济增长的方式塑造人类行为的政策解决方案的概念化和实证检验的基础。随着地球面临持续的环境威胁,除了自然科学的见解和框架之外,改善环境政策决策还取决于社会科学研究的见解和框架。
