After a long incubation period, the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is now underway. Underpinning all its activities is the IPBES Conceptual Framework (CF), a simplified model of the interactions between nature and people. Drawing on the legacy of previous large-scale environmental assessments, the CF goes further in explicitly embracing different disciplines and knowledge systems (including indigenous and local knowledge) in the co-construction of assessments of the state of the world's biodiversity and the benefits it provides to humans. The CF can be thought of as a kind of "Rosetta Stone" that highlights commonalities between diverse value sets and seeks to facilitate crossdisciplinary and crosscultural understanding. We argue that the CF will contribute to the increasing trend towards interdisciplinarity in understanding and managing the environment. Rather than displacing disciplinary science, however, we believe that the CF will provide new contexts of discovery and policy applications for it.
经过漫长的孕育期，生物多样性和生态系统服务政府间科学政策平台（IPBES）现已启动。其所有活动的基础是IPBES概念框架（CF），这是一个关于自然与人类相互作用的简化模型。借鉴以往大规模环境评估的成果，CF在共同构建对全球生物多样性状况及其为人类提供的益处的评估时，更深入地明确纳入了不同学科和知识体系（包括本土和地方知识）。CF可以被视为一种“罗塞塔石碑”，它突出了不同价值体系之间的共性，并力求促进跨学科和跨文化的理解。我们认为，CF将有助于在理解和管理环境方面日益增长的跨学科趋势。然而，我们相信CF不会取代学科科学，而是会为其提供新的发现背景和政策应用场景。
