This grant provides support for four training institutes in interdisciplinary global environmental change sciences and for fostering collaboration between scientists and decision-makers in the Americas. Training activities address regionally important global change themes with policy and societal relevance, develop networks of professionals and institutions in the Americas, and integrate with the IAI Collaborative Research Networks (CRN-II) and the Small Grant Program/Human Dimensions (SGP/HD). The institutes have the following themes and locations: - Training Institute on Managing Semi-arid River Basins: Multiple Use of Water Resources of the So Francisco River Basin (joint with Federal University of Pernambuco and Canoa de Tolda (an NGO), in Propri and on the Sao Fransisco River, Brazil); - Training Institute on Information Management: free and open access to, and use of data and information (at the Water Center for the Humid Tropics of Latin America and the Caribbean (CATHALAC, Panama City, Panama); - Training Institute on Risk -Mainstreaming Adaptation to Climate Change in Latin America: Trends and Challenges (joint with the World Conservation Union- IUCN, San Jose, Costa Rica); - Training Institute on Cities Responses to Climate Change (tentatively scheduled at the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean- ECLAC, Santiago, Chile). Each Training Institute will involve 20-25 natural and social scientists, students, policy makers, environmental practitioners, and other stakeholders from the Americas, balanced by expertise, gender, type of participant, and geographic area. Institutes will be 1-2 weeks long and will include lectures, discussions, case studies, working groups, field trip, hands-on, laboratory and practical exercises, proposal development, and the production of reports, public releases and publications. A website will make information on the content, planning and results of the training activities widely available. A report will be prepared for each training activity with a description of participants, lecturers; support material; and a sum of major discussions, results and recommendations.

这笔赠款为四个跨学科全球环境变化科学培训机构提供支持，并促进美洲科学家和决策者之间的合作。培训活动针对具有政策和社会相关性的区域重要全球变化主题，在美洲发展专业人员和机构网络，并与IAI合作研究网络(CRN-II)和小额赠款计划/人的层面(SGP/HD)相结合。这些研究所有以下主题和地点：-半干旱河流流域管理培训学院：苏弗朗西斯科流域水资源的综合利用(与巴西普罗里岛和圣弗朗西斯科河的伯南布哥和托尔达联邦大学(一个非政府组织)联合)；-信息管理培训学院：免费和开放地获取和使用数据和信息(拉丁美洲和加勒比潮湿热带地区水中心，巴拿马巴拿马城)；-拉丁美洲适应气候变化风险主流化培训研究所：趋势和挑战(与世界自然保护联盟--自然保护联盟联合，哥斯达黎加圣何塞)；-城市应对气候变化培训研究所(暂定在拉丁美洲和加勒比经济委员会--拉加经委会，智利圣地亚哥)。每个培训学院将有20-25名来自美洲的自然和社会科学家、学生、政策制定者、环境从业者和其他利益攸关方参加，按专业知识、性别、参与者类型和地理区域进行平衡。该研究所将为期1-2周，将包括讲座、讨论、案例研究、工作组、实地考察、动手、实验室和实践练习、提案制定以及报告、公开发布和出版物的制作。一个网站将广泛提供关于培训活动的内容、规划和结果的信息。将为每项培训活动编写一份报告，说明参与者、讲师、辅助材料以及主要讨论、结果和建议的摘要。
