Research on global environmental change has transformed the way that we think about human-environment relationships and Earth system processes. The four Ambio articles highlighted in this 50th Anniversary Issue have influenced the cultural narrative on environmental change, highlighting concepts such as “resilience,” “coupled human and natural systems”, and the “Anthropocene.” In this peer response, I argue that global change research is still paying insufficient attention to how to deliberately transform systems and cultures to avoid the risks that science itself has warned us about. In particular, global change research has failed to adequately integrate the subjective realm of meaning making into both understanding and action. Although this has been an implicit subtext in global change research, it is time to fully integrate research from the social sciences and environmental humanities.

反思人类世:对更深层次变革的呼唤

对全球环境变化的研究改变了我们思考人类与环境关系和地球系统过程的方式。本期 50 周年特刊中重点介绍的四篇Ambio文章影响了关于环境变化的文化叙事,突出了诸如“复原力”、“人类与自然系统耦合”和“人类世”等概念。在这个同行的回应中,我认为全球变化研究仍然没有充分关注如何刻意改造系统和文化,以避免科学本身警告我们的风险。特别是,全球变化研究未能将意义制造的主观领域充分整合到理解和行动中。尽管这一直是全球变化研究的隐含潜台词,但现在是将社会科学和环境人文学科的研究充分结合的时候了。
