小步融资模式更适合气候研究

在过去的半个世纪里，气候变化研究的性质和目的不断发展。在20世纪的最后几十年，重点是了解气候系统，检测人类对其的影响，并确定气候变化如何影响未来社会。在本世纪，更为紧迫的研究重点是为设计和实施有效的减缓和适应干预措施提供信息。半个世纪以来，英国一直处于气候变化研究的前沿1，但历届政府采用了不同的模式来资助这类研究。最近的创新是高级研究与发明局（ARIA），模仿美国国防高级研究计划局（DARPA）。ARIA是一个政府研发资助机构，旨在“解锁造福所有人的科学和技术突破”（https://go.nature.com/3D6jyQ1）。与DARPA一样，ARIA坚持“登月”研究和创新模式，这个比喻旨在捕捉巨大努力和崇高目标的意图。然而，25年前，英国采用了一种非常不同的资助模式来支持气候变化研究，这导致了2000年廷德尔气候变化研究中心的成立。这两项倡议都源于新当选的政府，他们急于表明自己对英国科学的支持（专栏1）。

期刊介绍： Nature Climate Change is dedicated to addressing the scientific challenge of understanding Earth's changing climate and its societal implications. As a monthly journal, it publishes significant and cutting-edge research on the nature, causes, and impacts of global climate change, as well as its implications for the economy, policy, and the world at large. The journal publishes original research spanning the natural and social sciences, synthesizing interdisciplinary research to provide a comprehensive understanding of climate change. It upholds the high standards set by all Nature-branded journals, ensuring top-tier original research through a fair and rigorous review process, broad readership access, high standards of copy editing and production, rapid publication, and independence from academic societies and other vested interests. Nature Climate Change serves as a platform for discussion among experts, publishing opinion, analysis, and review articles. It also features Research Highlights to highlight important developments in the field and original reporting from renowned science journalists in the form of feature articles. Topics covered in the journal include adaptation, atmospheric science, ecology, economics, energy, impacts and vulnerability, mitigation, oceanography, policy, sociology, and sustainability, among others.
