14th National Conference and Global Forum on Science, Policy, and the Environment: Building Climate Solutions

授予国家科学与环境委员会(NCSE)的这一奖项将支持2014年1月28日至30日在弗吉尼亚州水晶城举行的第14届全国科学、政策和环境会议暨建筑气候解决方案全球论坛。会议将提出科学如何支持与气候变化、建筑环境、农业和自然资源相关的决策的战略。主题将包括将气候变化的后果降至最低的缓解解决方案，以及针对那些无法避免的后果的适应解决方案。来自高等教育机构、政府、民间社会组织、研究和政策组织、企业、国际组织的1200多名参与者齐聚一堂，跨越传统界限，将科学与决策联系起来。会议将强调将想法付诸行动，为参加会议的科学家创造机会，分享他们的研究成果，并就如何更有效地推进支持决策的知识接受反馈。这些互动将加强科学与社会需求之间的联系，并通过与将通过具体的新的和正在进行的倡议将科学与决策联系起来的合作组织的参与来产生影响，这些倡议将在大会之后实施和推进。会议计划将包括11次主旨演讲、7次全体会议、30次研讨会和24次互动分组研讨会。200多位杰出的思想领袖、科学家、政府官员、政策专家和国际当局将在为期三天的活动中发表讲话。
