ICSU will bring together international scientific communities to address pressing and intellectually challenging global topics, among which are the World Climate Research Program (WCRP); the biological diversity program, DIVERSITS; and the efforts of the Earth System Science Partnership (ESSP) to develop new studies on comprehensive global issues of food, carbon, water and health are of particular importance. ICSU facilitates intellectual cross-fertilization across broad fields of environmental science and serves both a scientific and a societal imperative by supporting international advancement of knowledge and of understanding while improving future ability to respond to environmental challenges in realistic ways. ICSU activities in environment and global change will focus over the next year on natural and manmade hazards; global observing systems; new environment science-related initiatives; vulnerability and resilience to multiple climate/global change stresses; planning for science associated with the Fourth International Polar Year (IPY); and scenarios to assess the status of the environment at both global and regional scales. ICSU will support activities of the WCRP related to further development of the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX), Stratospheric Processes and their Role in Climate (SPARC); the Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) Study; the study of Climate and Cryosphere (CliC); and the Global Earth Observing System.ICSU will support implementation of the DIVERSITAS Science Plan that focuses on three core projects - BioDISCOVERY, dedicated to taxonomy, monitoring and drivers of biodiversity change; EcoSERVICES, dedicated to biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and services; BioSUSTAINABILITY, dedicated to science at the basis of conservation and sustainable development. Progress in these core projects will be presented to and reviewed in the first DIVERSITAS Open Science Conference in Oaxaca, Mexico, in November 2005. ICSU will also support efforts of the ESSP to develop new studies on comprehensive global issues of food, carbon, water and health that are of particular importance. The latter cross-cutting programs will bring together under the aegis of the ESSP scientists in many countries cooperating through the WCRP, DIVERSITAS, the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP); and theInternational Human Dimensions (of Global Environmental Change) Program (IHDP).

科联理事会将把国际科学界聚集在一起，讨论紧迫和具有智力挑战性的全球性问题，其中包括世界气候研究方案;生物多样性方案;地球系统科学伙伴关系为就粮食、碳、水和健康等全球综合问题开展新的研究而作出的努力，这些都特别重要。 科联理事会促进环境科学广泛领域的知识交流，通过支持国际知识和理解的进步，同时提高未来以现实方式应对环境挑战的能力，为科学和社会的当务之急服务。 科联理事会在环境和全球变化方面的活动明年将侧重于自然和人为灾害;全球观测系统;与环境科学有关的新倡议;对多种气候/全球变化压力的脆弱性和复原力;与第四个国际极地年有关的科学规划;以及评估全球和区域范围内环境状况的设想。科学理事会将支持世界气候研究方案与进一步发展全球能源和水循环实验、平流层过程及其在气候中的作用、气候多变性和可预测性研究、气候和冰冻圈研究有关的活动;科学理事会将支持实施以三个核心项目为重点的多样性科学计划-生物探索，致力于生物多样性变化的分类、监测和驱动因素;生态服务，致力于生物多样性、生态系统功能和服务;生物可持续性，致力于以保护和可持续发展为基础的科学。 这些核心项目的进展情况将提交给2005年11月在墨西哥瓦哈卡举行的第一届DIVERSITAS开放科学会议，并在会议上进行审查。 科联理事会还将支持欧洲社会科学计划就特别重要的粮食、碳、水和健康等全球综合问题开展新的研究。 这些横向计划将在欧洲社会科学计划的主持下，通过世界气候研究方案、生物多样性研究、国际地圈生物圈计划和国际（全球环境变化）人文因素计划，将许多国家的科学家聚集在一起。
