Core Support of the U.S. Hub of the Future Earth Secretariat

该奖项为未来地球秘书处美国中心提供支持。中心主任和相关工作人员对美国中心的运营负有主要责任，并将负责在美国建立研究人员和利益相关者网络，以参与未来地球的工作。该中心主任将作为一个六人国际执行团队的一部分，该团队将监督国际未来地球组织的运作。未来地球是有史以来在全球环境变化方面最雄心勃勃、影响最深远的计划。未来地球计划由一个由资助者、国家机构、知名科学家和利益相关者组成的国际联盟管理。它得到了美国主要机构的大力支持，并得到了美国全球变化研究计划的跨学科支持。2014年5月，一个代表加拿大、法国、日本、瑞典和美国的全球财团被选为主办新的未来地球秘书处的优先投标人。这种全球分布的未来地球计划治理方法是一种雄心勃勃的独特方法，以前从未在国际科学协调中尝试过，但在其他全球分布的公司结构中很常见。通过这一新方法，每个国家将拥有一个全球中心，并将以协调的方式努力推进未来地球计划。美国全球中心将在科罗拉多州科罗拉多州博尔德大学和科罗拉多州立大学举办。虽然总部设在科罗拉多州的前线，但全球中心将与全国各地的附属组织密切联系。这笔赠款中提供的资金将用于支持中心主任和美国中心团队的工作，他们将为实施未来地球新议程的一系列活动提供支持，但最初将领导或共同领导研究支持和全球能力建设的发展。这两个职能的领导反映了美国在GEC研究和国际开发方面的实力。

This award provides support for the US Hub of the Future Earth Secretariat. The Director of the hub and associated staff have the primary responsibility for the operation of the U.S. hub and will be responsible for building networks of researchers and stakeholders in the U.S. to engage with Future Earth. The hub director will serve as part of a six person international executive team that will have oversight over the operations of the international Future Earth organization. Future Earth is the most ambitious and far-reaching program in global environmental change ever envisioned. The Future Earth program is governed by an international alliance of funders, national agencies and prominent scientists and stakeholders. It is strongly supported by major U.S. agencies, under the interdisciplinary auspices of the U.S. Global Change Research Program. In May 2014, a global consortium representing the nations of Canada, France, Japan, Sweden and the United States was selected as the preferred bidder to host the new Future Earth Secretariat. This globally distributed approach to governance of the Future Earth program is an ambitious and unique approach that has never been tried before in International science coordination but which is common in other globally distributed corporate structures. Through this new approach, each nation will host a Global Hub and will work in a coordinated way to advance the Future Earth Programme. The U.S. Global Hub will be hosted in Colorado at the University of Colorado Boulder and Colorado State University. Although headquartered in the Front Range of Colorado, the Global Hub will be closely tied to affiliate organizations across the nation. The funding provided in this grant will be used to support the work of the Hub Director and the US Hub team, which will provide support for a range of activities to implement the emerging agenda of Future Earth but will initially lead the or co-lead the development of research enabling and global capacity building. The leadership of these two functions reflect the US strength in both GEC research and international development.
