Partial Support of the Forum on Global Change and Our Common Future

美国国家科学院(NAS)国家研究委员会(NRC)将与史密森学会、美国科学促进会(AAAS)和科学研究学会西格玛·西(Sigma Xi)共同主办一个重要的公共论坛--全球变化和我们共同的未来。论坛旨在向公众传达一种科学、平衡的观点，了解全球环境中似乎正在发生的变化、这些变化对社会可能意味着什么、以及哪些政策可能适合于减轻和/或适应这些变化。将选出16名全国公认的高中教师参加论坛。结果也将在论坛之后公布。

The National Academy of Sciences' (NAS) National Research Council (NRC) will co-sponsor a major public "Forum on Global Change and Our Common Future", together with the Smithsonian Institution, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society. The Forum is intended to communicate to the public a scientifically balanced view of the changes which appear to be occurring in the global environment, what these changes might mean for society, and what kinds of policies may be appropriate to mitigate and/or to adapt to these changes. A group of sixteen nationally recognized high school teachers will be selected to participate in the Forum. The results will also be published following the Forum.
