Scientific capacity building for global change research

该奖项由美国全球变化研究计划（USGCRP）提供资金，以支持国际START秘书处。在2015- 2020年五年期间，中国将在非洲和亚洲开展区域研究和能力建设项目。USGCRP继续支持START？联合国的区域GEC研究项目将有助于加强全球变化研究和评估，从而加强非洲和亚洲的GEC科学能力建设。这种支持对于满足发展中国家对GEC研究的巨大需求，以及利用资源建立持久的伙伴关系以推进区域知识是至关重要的。有了持续的支持，START将能够促进研究和能力建设，从而有助于推进USGCRP机构的利益和战略，并推进贝尔蒙特论坛和未来地球倡议的目标。该项目直接支持USGCRP的任务：1)协调美国与其他国家和国际组织在全球变化研究项目和活动方面的活动；2)促进国际合作和获取科学数据和信息；3)参与发展中国家的国际全球变化研究。

This award provides funds from the United States Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) to support the International START Secretariat?s regional research and capacity building programs in Africa and Asia during the 5-year period CY2015-CY2020. Continued USGCRP support for START?s regional GEC research programs will serve to strengthen global change research and assessment through which capacity building for GEC science in Africa and Asia is enhanced. This support is essential for meeting the significant need for GEC research in the developing world, and for leveraging resources that build lasting partnerships for advancing regional knowledge. With continued support, START will be able to promote research and capacity building that contributes to and advances the interests and strategy of the USGCRP agencies and that advances the objectives of the Belmont Forum and the Future Earth Initiative. This program directly supports the USGCRP mandates to 1) Coordinate U.S. activities with other nations and international organizations on global change research projects and activities; 2) Promote international cooperation and access to scientific data and information; and3) Participate in international global change research by developing nations.
