气候变化科学传播中的利益冲突

在气候变化科学传播过程中不可避免地存在着利益冲突问题,表现为与政治立场有关、与行业发展有关、与学术观点有关以及与媒体宣传有关的利益冲突等。为加强和改善气候变化科学传播,应进一步坚持以公众利益为优先的科学伦理;推动科研机构资源共享以及研究成果的透明化和公开化;要求科学家要为科学研究和科学传播的全过程负责;建立完善包括利益冲突公开和回避在内的法律法规、行业规范以及道德规范;强调科学严谨的媒体职业操守;提升科学研究的水平,从根本上夯实科学传播的能力和基础。

The Conflicting Interests in Climate Change Science Communication

There exist inevitably large numbers of conflicting interests in the science popularization of climate change studies. These conflicts are typically associated with political stance, strategy of industry development, academic viewpoints and media strategy. In order to enhance and improve science communication of climate change studies, public interest as an ethical priority should be strengthened, institutes and agencies sponsored by the government or public fund are supposed to share their scientific resources to promote the transparency and demystification. Scientists should be responsible for the complete stages of research, including the popularization. The legal regulation and ethical rules for handling conflicting interest should be accelerated to establish, including disclosure and withdraw. The media should be required to keep the moral principle of rigor and accuracy. Finally, the scientific understanding of climate change should be improved so as to raise fundamentally the capability of science popularization of climate change studies.
