Knowledge management across the environment-policy interface in China: what knowledge is exchanged, why, and how is this undertaken?

摘要: Global to local environmental policy-making is increasingly evidenced-based. Knowledge management (KM) used by scientists and policymakers, deliver evidence-based policy practice. There thus an urgent need identify whether how knowledge exchanged between producers users in science fields. Here we apply assessment framework developed social medicine what forms of are exchanged, why they exchanged. We focussed on China, as international research better manage Chinese ecosystem services rapidly-increasing, yet, best integrate this into political decision-making the public realm remains a challenge. How KM practiced China unknown. addressed through: 1) systematic analysis published compared global trends; 2) evaluating for China; 3) quantitative surveys (n = 72) British (n = 16) researching problems. The literature review two databases identified key findings. One, 291 papers that considered there were no sector examining science-policy-practice interface China. Two, only 13 423 potentially relevant explicitly examined topics, notably agriculture information exchange (the ‘What?’). Most reported one-way interaction ‘How?’), change practice ‘Why?’). Our survey showed significantly-less awareness use two-way (KE) methods scientists. paucity documented limited evidence show KE at limited. Promotion may benefit have also shown conceptual frameworks mapping assessing from can be usefully adapted – interfaces.
