This award provides support to U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by a 14-country initiative on global change research through the Belmont Forum. 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. 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 this Collaborative Research Action, the partner agencies have provided support for research projects that utilize existing Arctic observing systems, datasets and models to evaluate key sustainability challenges and opportunities in the Arctic region, to innovate new sustainability science theory and approaches to these challenges and opportunities, and support decision-making towards a sustainable Arctic environment. 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 end users (e.g., policy makers, regulators, NGOs, communities and industry). The RACArctic (Resilience and adaptive capacity of arctic marine systems under a changing climate) project will bring together a team of natural and social scientists from the US, Japan, and Norway to investigate stressors and futures of fisheries-impacted marine ecosystems in the north. Through a synthesis of available observations, including information from fisheries managers and subsistence harvesters, the team will assess the effects of physical drivers and human pressures on marine ecosystems and key fish populations in the North Atlantic and North Pacific. Best practices for fisheries management in these sectors will be developed from the available management frameworks taking into account not only physical-biological relationships but the adaptive capacity of fish stocks, the integrated ecosystem, and the socio-economic needs of fisheries-dependent communities in the Subarctic-Arctic transition zone. This comparative analysis will connect with a breadth of stakeholders through a series of workshops and provide use-inspired results through collaboration with fisheries management councils.

该奖项为参与一个项目的美国研究人员提供支持，该项目是由14个国家通过贝尔蒙特论坛在全球变化研究方面的一个倡议竞争性选择的。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。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。 这一方法有助于有效利用国家资源，支持对全球相关主题进行出色的研究，最好通过多国方法加以解决，同时认识到全球挑战需要全球解决方案，在这一合作研究行动中，伙伴机构为利用现有北极观测系统的研究项目提供了支持，该项目旨在利用数据集和模型来评估北极地区关键的可持续性挑战和机遇，创新新的可持续性科学理论和方法来应对这些挑战和机遇，并支持可持续北极环境的决策。 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，社会科学家和最终用户（例如，政策制定者、监管机构、非政府组织、社区和行业）。 RACAcritic（北极海洋系统在气候变化下的恢复力和适应能力）项目将汇集来自美国，日本和挪威的自然和社会科学家团队，调查北部受北极熊影响的海洋生态系统的压力源和未来。 该小组将综合现有的观察结果，包括渔业管理人员和自给性捕捞者提供的信息，评估物理驱动因素和人类压力对北大西洋和北太平洋海洋生态系统和主要鱼类种群的影响。 这些部门的渔业管理最佳做法将根据现有的管理框架制定，不仅考虑到物理-生物关系，而且考虑到鱼类种群的适应能力、综合生态系统以及亚北极-北极过渡区以鱼类为生的社区的社会经济需求。 这一比较分析将通过一系列讲习班与广泛的利益攸关方建立联系，并通过与渔业管理委员会的合作提供有益的结果。
