【摘要】 2022年，是联合国1992年确立可持续发展战略30周年，也是生态文明纳入中国“五位一体”现代化体系10周年。可持续性科学是有关可持续发展的学理研究，在一些基础性问题上存在着弱可持续性与强可持续性的观点差异。中国生态文明不仅对促进中国的绿色现代化具有重要意义，而且对发展可持续性科学也具有重要意义，后一方面的研究工作亟须加强。文章基于中国生态文明的政策和实践，讨论可持续性科学研究中五个存在观点分歧的重要论题，指出中国生态文明是以强可持续性为导向的，可持续性科学的理论架构需要包括具有内在层次关系的五个关键命题，即可持续发展是追求地球生态物理极限内的经济社会繁荣，要在控制生态消耗规模的前提下实现资源效率变革，发展中国家和发达国家要有不同的转型模式，要用目标-资本-治理建立三层次的发展模型，可持续性科学是跨学科的整合性范式。文章认为，可持续性科学的理论研究需要以强可持续性作为核心原理进行理论更新和版本升级，中国生态文明实践是世界上其他地方没有的大规模的社会运动，可以在深化发展可持续性科学中发挥重要的引领作用。更多还原

【Abstract】 The year 2022 marks the 30thanniversary of the establishment of the sustainable development strategy by the United Nations and the 10thanniversary of eco-civilization becoming one of the key elements of China’s modernization. Sustainability science is a theoretical study of sustainable development but there are opinion conflicts between weak sustainability and strong sustainability.Eco-civilization is recognized as China’s agenda for sustainable development but would be potential to contribute to the theoretical construction of sustainability science. Based on policies and practices of eco-civilization in China and discussing five controversial key issues, this article shows that China’s eco-civilization is strong-sustainability-oriented, and suggests that the theory base of sustainability science should include five critical elements with logic relationships. The five critical elements pursue the social and economic prosperity within Earth’s bio-physical limits; consider controlling eco-scale much more important than improving eco-efficiency; introduce different transition models for developed and developing countries, respectively; set up a three-level framework for sustainable development; and organize the interdisciplinary studies into an integrated paradigm. This article concludes that academic studies of sustainable development need to be updated to a new version with strong sustainability as a core principle, and that China’s eco-civilization as a social movement of such a large scale unprecedented in the rest of the world could play a leading role in deepening and developing sustainability science.更多还原
