The Past Global Changes Program, is an open and international organization that coordinates global change science internationally, prioritizes key topics, facilitates cross-disciplinary research, promotes syntheses of results, and ensures dissemination of data, results, and knowledge. PAGES fills a unique niche and adds value to individual and national research. Over the next four years, PAGES will organize interdisciplinary working groups and cross-cutting activities that address relevant community-driven science issues, via open and international workshops, and synthesize knowledge and data. Its objectives are to link data products with Earth system modeling, translate regional knowledge of climatic and environmental changes into actionable information useful for decision-makers, and build capacity among young scientists and in nations less established in science. PAGES' activities all center around four themes: the Climate theme will inform climate projection efforts, and combined with modern and historical observational evidence will contribute to climate services. The Environment theme will address research topics central to Future Earth and inform environmental management efforts such as landscape conservation, ecosystem management, and fire control. The Humans theme will inform adaptation strategies and contribute to specific solutions for policy makers and resource managers; there is transformative potential to develop novel approaches involving social scientists or economists within this theme. Results from the cross-topical integrated activities on tipping points, extreme events, and warmer worlds, are targeted to inform risk assessments and natural disaster mitigation.PAGES will exist under the new Future Earth program and intensify its partnership with the World Climate Research Program. The community-built scientific structure proposed here will align with these programs' agendas. PAGES' new structure will encourage integrative activities related to the sustainability issues prioritized by Future Earth and the World Climate Research Program. In addition to the research output generated by scientific activities, PAGES will ensure broad impact by: identifying key science issues that can only be addressed through a transnational community approach; advocating for the incorporation of scientific evidence into wider Earth system science and international assessments; communicating scientific results to Global Environmental Change scientists, the media and public; contributing to data management in collaboration with NSF-EarthCube and NOAA; and building capacity among developing country and young scientists through active involvement, educational meetings, mentorships, and by organizing the Open Science and Young Scientists Meetings.PAGES has a record of producing scientific output, including over 300 publications since 2010, with numerous major syntheses. Many publications obtained wide attention in the broader scientific community and contributed substantially to the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment. Long-lived value was created by coherent data compilations that increased the number of available data by ~5 times. PAGES intends to support transnational working groups, to provide vehicles for data-model integration, and to facilitate community data syntheses that add expertise and value to individual results and contribute to international assessments such as the IPCC and Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. Under the new structure the Climate theme will address climate dynamics at the regional to global scales to obtain improved records of climate forcing, sensitivity and Earth system feedback. It will also assess model skills and provide insight into non-linearities, thresholds and the predictability of climate over long time intervals. The Environment theme will address the components of the biosphere that interact with climate change and introduce long-term feedback into the Earth system including biogeochemical cycling, ecosystem dynamics and ecosystem services. The Humans theme will address long-term environmental changes where humans are a major agent and where environmental changes have an effect on the functioning and well-being of ecosystem services and societies. In addition, cross-topical integrated activities such as thresholds and tipping points, extreme events, warmer worlds and data management, will encourage an interdisciplinary, synthesizing approach among the scientific community and other stakeholders.

过去全球变化计划是一个开放的国际组织，负责协调全球变化科学，优先考虑关键主题，促进跨学科研究，促进成果综合，并确保数据，成果和知识的传播。PAGES填补了一个独特的利基市场，并为个人和国家研究增加了价值。在今后四年中，PAGES将组织跨学科工作组和跨领域活动，通过公开和国际研讨会解决相关的社区驱动的科学问题，并综合知识和数据。其目标是将数据产品与地球系统建模联系起来，将气候和环境变化的区域知识转化为对决策者有用的可采取行动的信息，并在青年科学家和科学基础较低的国家中建立能力。PAGES的活动围绕四个主题：气候主题将为气候预测工作提供信息，并结合现代和历史观测证据将有助于气候服务。环境主题将解决未来地球的核心研究课题，并为景观保护，生态系统管理和消防等环境管理工作提供信息。人的主题将为适应战略提供信息，并为决策者和资源管理者提供具体的解决方案;在这一主题范围内，有可能制定涉及社会科学家或经济学家的新方法。跨主题的综合活动的结果在临界点，极端事件，和温暖的世界，有针对性的通知风险评估和减轻自然灾害.PAGES将存在于新的未来地球计划，并加强其与世界气候研究计划的伙伴关系.这里提出的社区建设的科学结构将与这些计划的议程保持一致。PAGES的新结构将鼓励与未来地球和世界气候研究计划优先考虑的可持续性问题相关的综合活动。 除了科学活动所产生的研究成果外，地球环境变化科学咨询小组还将通过以下方式确保产生广泛的影响：查明只能通过跨国社区办法加以解决的关键科学问题;倡导将科学证据纳入更广泛的地球系统科学和国际评估;向全球环境变化科学家、媒体和公众宣传科学成果;与NSF-EarthCube和NOAA合作，为数据管理做出贡献;通过积极参与、教育会议、指导以及组织开放科学和青年科学家会议，在发展中国家和青年科学家中开展能力建设。包括自2010年以来发表的300多篇论文，以及许多重要的综合论文。许多出版物在更广泛的科学界获得了广泛关注，并为政府间气候变化专门委员会（气候专委会）的最新评估作出了重大贡献。通过将可用数据数量增加约5倍的连贯数据汇编，创造了长期价值。PAGES旨在支持跨国工作组，为数据模型整合提供工具，并促进社区数据综合，为个人结果增加专业知识和价值，并为IPCC和政府间生物多样性和生态系统服务平台等国际评估做出贡献。在新的结构下，气候主题将涉及区域到全球范围的气候动态，以获得更好的气候强迫、敏感性和地球系统反馈记录。它还将评估模型技能，并提供对长期气候的非线性、阈值和可预测性的深入了解。环境主题将涉及生物圈中与气候变化相互作用的组成部分，并将长期反馈引入地球系统，包括地球化学循环、生态系统动态和生态系统服务。人类主题将涉及长期的环境变化，其中人类是主要因素，环境变化对生态系统服务和社会的运作和福祉产生影响。此外，阈值和临界点、极端事件、更温暖的世界和数据管理等跨主题综合活动将鼓励科学界和其他利益攸关方采取跨学科的综合办法。
