This award provides support to U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by a six-country initiative on global change research through the Belmont Forum. The Belmont Forum is a group of the world?s major and emerging funders of global environmental change research. 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 organization provides funding for researchers from their country 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. This project is also supported by the NSF Office of International Science and Engineering Global Venture Fund. Working together in a Collaborative Research Action, the six partner organizations have provided support for research projects that utilize a strong inter- and trans-disciplinary approach to examine environmental and related societal change in mountain regions. This award provides support for the U.S. researchers to cooperate in a consortium of partners from at least three of the participating countries and that brings together natural scientists, social scientists and research users (e.g., policy makers, regulators, NGOs, communities and industry). This research will identify options to address emerging food-energy-water pressures in the rapidly changing Ethiopian Blue Nile Mountains. This project will engage stakeholders at local, regional, and national level to define system components and dynamics, identify favored adaptation strategies, and develop scenarios of probable and of possible futures under externally forced and locally driven change.

该奖项为美国研究人员参与一个项目提供支持，该项目是通过贝尔蒙特论坛由六国全球变化研究倡议竞争性选择的。贝尔蒙特论坛是一个世界性的团体吗？全球环境变化研究的主要和新兴资助者。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。每个伙伴组织都为本国的研究人员提供资金，以减轻跨越国际边界的资金需求。 这一办法有助于有效利用国家资源，支持对具有全球意义的专题进行出色的研究，最好通过多国办法加以处理，同时认识到全球挑战需要全球解决办法。 该项目还得到国家科学基金会国际科学和工程办公室全球风险基金的支持，六个伙伴组织在一项合作研究行动中共同努力，为利用强有力的跨学科和跨学科办法审查山区环境和相关社会变化的研究项目提供支持。该奖项为美国研究人员提供支持，使他们能够与来自至少三个参与国的合作伙伴组成联盟，并将自然科学家，社会科学家和研究用户（例如，政策制定者、监管机构、非政府组织、社区和行业）。 这项研究将确定解决迅速变化的埃塞俄比亚青尼罗河山区新出现的粮食-能源-水压力的方案。该项目将使地方、区域和国家各级的利益攸关方参与，以确定系统组成部分和动态，确定有利的适应战略，并制定在外部强制和地方驱动的变化下可能和可能的未来情景。
