APEC Workshop on Invasive Alien Species

0437457RODERICK该奖项向(加州大学伯克利分校环境科学系)George Roderick提供部分资金，用于在2005年春季为来自亚太经济合作组织(APEC)成员经济体的与会者组织一次关于入侵物种(IAS)的研讨会。怀俄明大学经济系的Jason Shogren将担任该项目的顾问。入侵物种问题日益被认为是对亚太经合组织区域生态和经济的重要威胁。举办研讨会的想法得到了美国国务院和其他亚太经合组织各国政府的支持，中国领导的政府提出主办这一活动。研讨会将是多部门的，来自环太平洋地区的科学家、政策制定者和其他领域的专家将汇聚一堂，为亚太经合组织制定行动议程。据设想，该议程将包括合作研究的优先领域、共享信息和加强网络的机制以及加强机构以防止国际气候变化的传播和减轻其影响。可交付成果包括向亚太经合组织领导人提交的一系列白皮书和应对国际会计准则的行动计划。

0437457RODERICKThis award provides partial funding to George Roderick, (of the Department of Environmental Sciences, University of California/Berkeley), to organize a workshop on invasive species (IAS) for participants from member economies of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC) in spring 2005. Jason Shogren, of the Department of Economics, U. of Wyoming, will serve as a consultant on the project. The problem of invasive species is increasingly recognized as an important threat to the ecology and economies of the APEC region. The idea of a workshop has been endorsed by the State Department and other APEC governments, and the government of China has offered to host the event. The workshop will be multisectoral, bringing together scientists, policy makers, and other experts in a wide variety of fields from around the Pacific Rim to develop an action agenda for APEC. It is envisioned that the agenda will encompass priority areas for cooperative research, mechanisms to share information and strengthen networks, and strengthening institutions to prevent the spread of, and mitigate the effects of IAS. Deliverables include a series of White Papers to APEC leaders and an Action Plan to deal with IAS.
