Scientists have much to contribute to the growing social movements pushing for urgent and transformative change to address the climate and biodiversity crises. Depending on their skills, interests and circumstances, scientists can actively participate in social movements as members (whether on the streets or behind-the-scenes), endorse and facilitate these movements in their professional capacity and within their institutions, and build social movement effectiveness through research and teaching.
科学家可以为日益壮大的社会运动做出很多贡献,这些运动正在推动迫切且变革性的改变,以应对气候和生物多样性危机。根据自身技能、兴趣和情况,科学家可以作为成员积极参与社会运动(无论是走上街头还是在幕后),以专业身份并在其所在机构内支持和推动这些运动,并通过研究和教学提升社会运动的成效。
