From Climate Change to Human Response -Joint NSF-NGO Workshop

这是一个研讨会，将非政府组织 (NGO) 与 NSF 项目主管和主要科学家聚集在一起，围绕全球环境变化条件下的长期可持续性问题，在科学家和非政府组织之间建立对话。 研讨会将包括一些对全球环境变化条件下人类长期福祉问题的现实世界解决方案感兴趣的主要非政府组织、有兴趣与非政府组织合作开展科学倡议的项目主管以及有兴趣与非政府组织合作开发项目的科学家。 此外，讨论将集中于科学界如何与非政府组织合作，以更好地理解并最终确保环境和人类福祉的长期可持续性。 由于可持续发展科学的一个关键定义是“受使用启发”的领域。研究重点是对人类和环境系统强烈相互作用的科学理解，并且非政府组织正在支持这一领域的科学努力，本次研讨会将把这三个小组聚集在一起，讨论共同感兴趣和关注的领域以及未来合作的潜在进程。

This is a workshop to bring together Non-Governmental Organizations(NGO)with NSF Program Directors and key scientists to create a dialog between scientists and NGOs surrounding issues of long-term sustainability under conditions of global environmental change. The workshop will include few key NGOs that are interested in real world solutions to issues of long-term human well-being under conditions of global environmental change, program directors who are interested in working with NGOs on science initiatives, and scientists who are interested in collaborating with NGOs on developing programs. In addition, the discussion will focus on how the scientific community can collaborate with NGOs to better understand and ultimately ensure the long-term sustainability of the environment and human well-being. Since a key definition of sustainability science is a field of ?use inspired? research that is focused on the scientific understanding of strongly interacting human and environmental systems, and NGOs are supporting scientific efforts in this arena, this workshop will bring these three groups together to discuss areas of common interests and concerns and potential processes for future collaborations.
