Abstract

Negotiations are ongoing but fraught for designing a new global science-policy panel for chemicals and waste pollution. In this Perspectives article, we challenge three assumptions guiding these negotiations. First, the new panel should resemble the existing panels of the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the Inter-governmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). Second, the creation of a new panel will automatically carry authority within policymaking. Third, the participation of industry is crucial without special consideration for its interests. Further, we identify three steps to enhance the panel’s relevance and influence.

重新思考化学品、废物和污染的科学政策接口：挑战核心假设

关于设计一个新的全球化学品和废物污染科学政策小组的谈判正在进行，但令人担忧。在这篇展望文章中，我们将挑战指导这些谈判的三个假设。首先，新的专门委员会应该类似于现有的政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）和政府间生物多样性和生态系统服务科学政策平台（IPBES）的专门委员会。其次，新委员会的成立将自动在决策过程中赋予权力。第三，工业的参与至关重要，无需特别考虑其利益。此外，我们确定了提高小组相关性和影响力的三个步骤。

期刊介绍： Global Environmental Change is a prestigious international journal that publishes articles of high quality, both theoretically and empirically rigorous. The journal aims to contribute to the understanding of global environmental change from the perspectives of human and policy dimensions. Specifically, it considers global environmental change as the result of processes occurring at the local level, but with wide-ranging impacts on various spatial, temporal, and socio-political scales. In terms of content, the journal seeks articles with a strong social science component. This includes research that examines the societal drivers and consequences of environmental change, as well as social and policy processes that aim to address these challenges. While the journal covers a broad range of topics, including biodiversity and ecosystem services, climate, coasts, food systems, land use and land cover, oceans, urban areas, and water resources, it also welcomes contributions that investigate the drivers, consequences, and management of other areas affected by environmental change. Overall, Global Environmental Change encourages research that deepens our understanding of the complex interactions between human activities and the environment, with the goal of informing policy and decision-making.
