This award provides support to U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by a 55-country initiative on global change research through the Belmont Forum. The Belmont Forum is a consortium of research funding organizations focused on support for transdisciplinary approaches to global environmental change challenges and opportunities. It aims to accelerate delivery of the international 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 to foster global transdisciplinary research teams of natural (including climate), health and social scientists and stakeholders from across the globe to improve understanding of climate, environment and health pathways to protect and promote health. The projects will provide crucial new understanding into the health implications arising from the impacts of climate change and variability on; 1) the quality/quantity of food, 2) chronic exposure to increases/changes in heat and humidity and 3) changes in the distribution and incidence of a range of infectious diseases and emergence of novel pathogens. 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 to increase our knowledge of the complex linkages and pathways between the climate, environment and health to help solve complex challenges that face societies. This project seeks to predict and understand health risks from wildfire air pollution and vector-borne disease in the Arctic, and the resilience and adaptability of communities across the region to these risks. This project focuses on a critical challenge as the Arctic has warmed rapidly over recent decades, at around twice the rate of global mean temperature increases, resulting in rapid changes to this environment. The Arctic has been affected by unprecedented fire activity, leading to unhealthy air quality in high latitude towns and cities. Vector-borne disease occurrence in these regions is also changing in response to rapid changes in temperature and moisture. The fire activity is also affecting this disease risk by altering the habitat conditions for vectors and their hosts. The project will focus on integrating satellite and in-situ observations, modelling, health data, and community knowledge and stakeholder dialogue to understand community resilience and response to these changing risks. This information will help communities address environmental, social, and governance challenges in the most rapidly warming region of the planet.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项为参与由55个国家通过贝尔蒙特论坛发起的全球变化研究项目的美国研究人员提供支持。贝尔蒙特论坛是一个研究资助组织的联盟，致力于支持跨学科方法来应对全球环境变化的挑战和机遇。它的目的是通过协调和调动国际资源，加速提供最迫切需要的国际研究，以消除可持续发展的关键障碍。每个伙伴国在一个联盟中为它们的研究人员提供资金，以减轻对跨越国际边界的资金的需求。这种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，最好通过多国方法解决，同时认识到全球挑战需要全球解决方案。伙伴机构在这一合作研究行动中共同努力，提供了支持，以培养由自然（包括气候）、卫生和社会科学家以及来自全球各地的利益攸关方组成的全球跨学科研究团队，以增进对气候、环境和健康途径的了解，从而保护和促进健康。这些项目将为气候变化和变异对健康的影响提供重要的新认识；1)食物的质量/数量，2)长期暴露于热量和湿度的增加/变化，3)一系列传染病的分布和发病率的变化以及新病原体的出现。该奖项为美国研究人员在至少三个参与国的合作伙伴组成的联盟中合作提供支持，以增加我们对气候、环境和健康之间复杂联系和途径的认识，帮助解决社会面临的复杂挑战。该项目旨在预测和了解北极地区野火、空气污染和媒介传播疾病带来的健康风险，以及整个地区社区对这些风险的复原力和适应性。近几十年来，北极迅速变暖，其速度约为全球平均气温上升速度的两倍，导致该环境发生了快速变化，因此该项目关注的是一个关键挑战。北极地区受到了前所未有的火灾活动的影响，导致高纬度城镇的空气质量不健康。由于温度和湿度的迅速变化，这些地区的病媒传播疾病发生率也在发生变化。火灾活动还通过改变病媒及其宿主的生境条件影响这种疾病风险。该项目将侧重于整合卫星和现场观测、建模、健康数据以及社区知识和利益攸关方对话，以了解社区的复原力和对这些不断变化的风险的应对。这些信息将帮助社区应对地球上最迅速变暖地区的环境、社会和治理挑战。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
