东方巨人的两个“大脑”:对生态文明建设的科学共识与决策共识

Two Brains of China:Scientific and Policy-making Consensus on Construction of Ecological Civilization

中国科学界和中国领导人对于生态问题的认识经历了由"知之不多"到"知之较多",从"知之不深"到"知之较深",从"知之不全"到"知之较全",从"必然王国"到"自由王国"的过程,最终形成了中国特色的生态文明建设作为"五位一体"总体布局的重要组成部分,在党的"十八大"报告中得到充分、集中地体现。梳理这一历程可以发现,中国科学界对此做出了重要的知识贡献,形成了从科学知识到决策知识,再到社会知识,从科学共识到政治共识,再到社会共识的发展进程。作为东方巨人,有两个"大脑"比有一个"大脑"要更加聪明、更加智慧;"外脑"需要辅助"内脑",为决策层提供科学知识、决策知识;"内脑"需要依靠"外脑",主动问计于科学界。

The 18th National Congress of the CPC manifested the ecological civilization construction strategy of the Party which put the ecological cons^uction as an initial proposition for the whole country, equaling econom- ic construction, political construction, cultural construction and social construction. To be aware of the essential role of ecological construction, Chinese academic circle and political leaders experience a long and bumpy road. From unknown to known, they gradually construct their systematic consensus both from science and pub- lic policy approaches. On a philosophical sight, it is also a progress from the realm of necessity to the realm of freedom. To straight out the whole progress of consensus, the contributions from academic research are hard to be neglected, including the great effort on producing the knowledge of ecological protection and developing the policy study at the same time. Making the scientific consensus become policy - making consensus strongly de- pends on the wisdom of scientist to feed their research into the policy-making process. Ensuring the green de- velopment of China in the future, the brain of scientist and the brain of policy maker have to learn to work to- gether. The academic scholars should enhance their capacity in policy consulting while the policy maker should learn how to listen to these suggestions. The institutionalized cooperation of two brains will construct the true ＂civilization＂ of the society.
