Request for National Science Foundation Support for ICSU Activities in Environment and Global Change

9730008 Marton-Lefevre科联理事会将开展一系列活动，推进与全球变化和环境研究有关的科学规划。 这些活动包括科联理事会环境咨询委员会的活动;科联理事会环境科学干事为环境咨询委员会提供工作人员支助;世界气候研究方案、国际地圈-生物圈方案和全球环境变化方案国际方面的科学规划活动。 ACE将促进科联理事会各国际科学联合会（例如，国际大地测量学与地球物理学联合会（大地测量联合会）、国际地质科学联合会（地质科学联合会）、国际生物科学联合会（生物科学联合会）和国际理论化学和应用化学联合会（理论化学和应用化学联合会）之间的合作;科学理事会有关机构与外部伙伴之间的合作，特别是与共同赞助全球变化研究的政府间组织之间的合作（例如，这些组织包括世界气象组织（WMO）、政府间海洋学委员会（IOC）和联合国环境规划署（UNEP）;以及在全球变化研究中代表社会和工程科学及工业利益的其他国际组织。 ACE将审查WCRP、IGBP、IHDP及其组成项目，并向国际全球变化观测系统提供科学指导。（气候（全球气候观测系统）、海洋（全球海洋观测系统）和陆地系统（全球陆地观测系统）;科学理事会与全球变化和环境研究有关的所有其他活动（例如环境问题科学委员会（SCOPE）的机构）;以及关注气候变化、生物多样性和荒漠化等全球变化问题的政府间机构。 ***

9730008 Marton-Lefevre ICSU will undertake a series of activities to advance scientific planning related to research on global change and the environment. These activities include those of ICSU's Advisory Committee on the Environment (ACE); ICSU's Environmental Sciences Officer who provides staff support for ACE; and scientific planning activities of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), and the International Dimensions (of Global Environmental Change Program (IHDP). ACE will promote coordination regarding global change research among ICSU's various international scientific unions (e.g., the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG); International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS); International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS); and International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAP)); between relevant ICSU bodies and external partners, especially the intergovernmental organizations co-sponsors of global change research (e.g., the World Meteorological Organization (WMO); the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC); and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP)); and other international organizations representing the interests of the social and engineering sciences and industry in global change research. ACE will review and provide scientific guidance to the WCRP, IGBP, IHDP and their component projects; to the international global change observing systems (for climate (GCOS), for the oceans (GOOS), and for the terrestrial system (GTOS); to all other ICSU activities related to global change and environment research (such as those of the Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE); and to intergovernmental bodies concerned with global change issues such as climate change, biodiversity and desertification. ***
