The social-ecological systems (SES) approach elicits a broad understanding of some of the most pressing socionatural challenges (e.g. resource scarcity, biodiversity loss, and climate change) and the responsibility that humans have in addressing them. System dynamics has proven a powerful paradigm for dealing with complex SES-related issues. Here we discuss some ethical considerations of using system dynamics (SD) to model SES, something that is often either overlooked or discussed as an isolated issue. Sustainable development and human rights are used as ethical standpoints across the modelling cycle, opening the discussion around guiding principles that need to be considered when modelling SES. Based on these, a set of guiding ethical questions are identified and classified across a participatory SD modelling cycle. This structured approach is a simple yet potentially useful tool for SD practitioners to examine the ethical implications of their modelling endeavours in the context of grand societal challenges. © 2023 The Authors.

在参与性环境中使用系统动力学的伦理考虑：社会生态系统视角

社会生态系统（SES）方法引发了对一些最紧迫的社会自然挑战（例如资源稀缺、生物多样性丧失和气候变化）以及人类应对这些挑战的责任的广泛理解。系统动力学已被证明是处理复杂的 SES 相关问题的强大范例。在这里，我们讨论使用系统动力学 (SD) 建模 SES 的一些伦理考虑，这往往被忽视或作为一个孤立的问题进行讨论。可持续发展和人权在整个建模周期中被用作道德立场，引发了围绕社会经济地位建模时需要考虑的指导原则的讨论。在此基础上，在参与式可持续发展建模周期中确定并分类了一系列指导性道德问题。这种结构化方法是一个简单但可能有用的工具，可供 SD 从业者在重大社会挑战的背景下检查其建模工作的伦理影响。© 2023 作者。系统动力学评论由 John Wiley & Sons Ltd 代表系统动力学协会出版。
