This award provides support to U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by a 13-country initiative on global change research through the Belmont Forum and the G8 countries Heads of Research Councils. The Belmont Forum is a high level group of the world's major and emerging funders of global environmental change research and international science councils. It aims to accelerate delivery of the international environmental research most urgently needed to remove critical barriers to sustainability by aligning and mobilizing international resources. The G8 Heads of Research Councils developed a funding framework to support multilateral research projects that address global challenges in ways that are beyond the capacity of national or bilateral activities. Each partner country provides funding for their researchers within a consortium to alleviate the need for funds to cross international borders. This approach facilitates effective leveraging of national resources to support excellent research on topics of global relevance best tackled through a multinational approach, recognizing that global challenges need global solutions.Working together in an inaugural call of the International Opportunities Fund, the Belmont Forum and G8HORCs have provided support for research projects that seek to deliver knowledge needed for action to mitigate and adapt to detrimental environmental change and extreme hazardous events that relate to either Freshwater Security or Coastal Vulnerability. This award provides support for the U.S. researchers to cooperate in consortia that consist of partners from at least three of the participating countries and that bring together natural scientists, social scientists and research users (e.g., policy makers, regulators, NGOs, communities and industry). This award supports research activities that will develop and apply innovative trans-disciplinary approaches to improve coastal community adaptation strategies to climate change. Delivery of products and findings from evidence-based environmental research to local communities is a critical barrier limiting coastal adaptation strategies. Accounting for local communities? culture, history of adaptation and current local to global challenges is needed to facilitate effective adaptation mechanisms. This project will use a series of case studies in France, Greenland, Russia, India, Canada, Alaska, and Senegal to analyze how natural science can be used to better adapt to future changes, how communities have adapted to past changes and how memories of past adaptations frame current and future efforts. This will be achieved by developing an overarching trans-disciplinary framework to understand coastal adaptation, conducting field work in a range of settings, performing an experiment on cultural mediation of coastal adaptation, and developing a series of briefs. This project will contribute toward a better understanding of adaptation as a scientific, social, economic, and cultural practice in coastal communities by identifying the key community-level challenges to the definition and implementation of evidence-based adaptation.

该奖项支持美国研究人员参加一个项目，该项目是由13个国家通过贝尔蒙特论坛和八国集团国家研究理事会负责人竞争性选择的。贝尔蒙特论坛是全球环境变化研究和国际科学理事会的世界主要和新兴资助者的高级别小组。 它的目的是通过调整和调动国际资源，加快提供最迫切需要的国际环境研究，以消除可持续性的关键障碍。八国集团研究理事会负责人制定了一个供资框架，以支持以超出国家或双边活动能力的方式应对全球挑战的多边研究项目。每个伙伴国家都在一个财团内为其研究人员提供资金，以减轻跨越国际边界的资金需求。 这一办法有助于有效利用国家资源，支持对具有全球意义的专题进行出色的研究，这些专题最好通过多国办法加以解决，同时认识到全球挑战需要全球解决办法。贝尔蒙特论坛和G8 HORC为研究项目提供了支持，这些项目旨在提供采取行动减轻和适应有害环境所需的知识，与淡水安全或沿海脆弱性有关的环境变化和极端危险事件。 该奖项为美国研究人员提供支持，使他们能够在由至少三个参与国的合作伙伴组成的联盟中进行合作，并将自然科学家，社会科学家和研究用户（例如，政策制定者、监管机构、非政府组织、社区和行业）。 该奖项支持的研究活动将开发和应用创新的跨学科方法，以改善沿海社区适应气候变化的战略。向当地社区提供循证环境研究的产品和结果是限制沿海适应战略的一个关键障碍。对当地社区负责？要促进有效的适应机制，需要了解文化、适应历史和当前的地方到全球挑战。该项目将使用法国，格陵兰岛，俄罗斯，印度，加拿大，阿拉斯加和塞内加尔的一系列案例研究来分析如何利用自然科学更好地适应未来的变化，社区如何适应过去的变化以及过去的适应记忆如何构建当前和未来的努力。这将通过制定一个总体跨学科框架来理解沿海适应，在一系列环境中开展实地工作，进行沿海适应文化调解的实验，并制定一系列简报来实现。该项目将通过确定社区一级在定义和实施循证适应方面的关键挑战，促进更好地理解适应作为沿海社区的科学、社会、经济和文化实践。
