Belmont Forum Collaborative Research: ARCTIC-ERA: ARCTIC climate change and its impact on Environment, infrastructures and Resource Availability

该奖项为参与一个项目的美国研究人员提供支持，该项目是通过贝尔蒙特论坛由14个国家的全球变化研究倡议竞争性选择的。贝尔蒙特论坛是一个高层次的世界集团？全球环境变化研究和国际科学委员会的主要和新兴资助者。它旨在通过调整和调动国际资源，加速提供最迫切需要的国际环境研究，以消除可持续发展的关键障碍。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的优秀研究，最好通过多国方法来解决，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，伙伴机构共同努力，为利用现有北极观测系统、数据集和模型评估北极地区关键可持续性挑战和机遇的研究项目提供支持，创新新的可持续发展科学理论和方法，以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，社会科学家和最终用户（例如，该项目由来自美国、法国和俄罗斯的专家组成的核心团队组成。该项目的目标是解决人类福祉的关键问题，以及在当前和预计条件下北极基础设施和资源的可持续利用。该项目旨在分析关键数据，以帮助制定关于沿海住区和港口、运输、渔业、石油和天然气开采适应当前和未来变化的建议，并减轻其负面影响，并确定与“北极开放”相关的新机会。除了出版物和专题介绍外，还将通过研究人员、决策者和最终用户之间的一系列对话传播项目成果。这些对话将侧重于共同设计和共同编制备选方案。

This award provides support to U.S. researchers participating in a project competitivelyselected by a 14-country initiative on global change research through the BelmontForum. The Belmont Forum is a high level group of the world?s major and emergingfunders of global environmental change research and international science councils. Itaims to accelerate delivery of the international environmental research most urgentlyneeded to remove critical barriers to sustainability by aligning and mobilizinginternational resources. Each partner country provides funding for their researcherswithin a consortium to alleviate the need for funds to cross international borders. Thisapproach facilitates effective leveraging of national resources to support excellentresearch 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 haveprovided support for research projects that utilize existing Arctic observing systems,datasets and models to evaluate key sustainability challenges and opportunities in theArctic region, to innovate new sustainability science theory and approaches to thesechallenges and opportunities, and support decision-making towards a sustainable Arcticenvironment. This award provides support for the U.S. researchers to cooperate inconsortia that consist of partners from at least three of the participating countries andthat bring together natural scientists, social scientists and end users (e.g., policymakers, regulators, NGOs, communities and industry).ARCTIC-ERA unites a core team of experts from the United States, France and Russia.The goal of the project is to address critical aspects of human well-being andsustainable use of Arctic infrastructure and resources under current and projectedconditions. This projects seeks to analyze critical data that will help developrecommendations on adaptation of coastal settlements and ports, transportation,fishery, oil and gas exploitation to the ongoing and future changes and mitigation of theirnegative effects, and to identify new opportunities associated with the "Opening of theArctic". In addition to publications and presentations, the results of the project will bedisseminated through a series of dialogues between the researchers, decision makers,and end-users. These dialogues will focus on co-design and co-production of options.
