As progress towards a greater knowledge in sustainability
science continues, the question of how better to integrate
scientific progress with actual decisions made by practitioners
remains paramount. This book aims to help close the gap between
science and practice. Based on a two year collaborative project
between Harvard and Clark Universities, the book takes as its focus
the vulnerability and resilience of people around the world to the
effects of environmental change, a mature area of research in which
one might expect the gap between science and policy/practice to
have been extensively bridged.
Integrating Science and Policy presents analysis of past
studies, interviews conducted with the producers and users of
scientific knowledge, and case studies performed by leading
scholars across a spectrum of international settings and political
systems. Crucially, the authors identify new directions and tools
for closing the gap between science and policy across a range of
situations and societies. The result is an illuminating collection
of studies and analyses that suggest to researchers, students,
practitioners, and policy-makers alike how best to ensure that high
quality environmental research informs good environmental policy
and practice.
