Belmont Forum Collaborative Research: Re-Energize Governance of Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience for Sustainable Development

该奖项通过贝尔蒙特论坛，为参与由55个国家的全球变化研究倡议竞争性选择的项目的美国研究人员提供支持。 贝尔蒙特论坛是一个由研究供资组织组成的联合会，其重点是支持对全球环境变化挑战和机遇采取跨学科办法。 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。该奖项为美国研究人员提供支持，以支持由至少三个参与国的合作伙伴组成的联盟，以满足日益增长的评估和减少灾害风险的需求，与广泛的利益相关者合作共同设计恢复力战略，并在科学和技术上加强对灾害的反应。 “重振活力”项目将探讨灾害与可持续发展之间的相互作用，以进行有效的灾害风险管理，并将对人类活动包括气候变化造成的风险因素进行评估。 该项目将通过在来自四大洲的六个案例研究中采用人工智能（AI），机器学习（ML）和自然语言处理（NLP），将减少灾害风险和恢复能力纳入发展规划和计划。 该小组将创建一个开放获取工具，为决策者和规划者提供减少灾害风险战略的关键数据，并将制定一个应对程序，以帮助制定旨在提高社区抗灾能力的标准化方法。 该项目将最终开发创新和可实施的战略和技术，以帮助减少灾害风险和提高社会应对能力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得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的支持。

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. 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 address the growing need for assessment and reduction of disaster risk, collaborative co-design of resilience strategies with a breadth of stakeholders, and scientifically and technologically enhanced responses to disasters. The Re-energize project will address the interactions between disasters and sustainable development for effective disaster risk management and will provide an assessment of risk factors due to human activities, including climate change. The project will embed disaster risk reduction and resilience into development planning and programs by employing artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and natural language processing (NLP) across six case studies from four continents. The team will create an open-access tool to provide critical data to decisionmakers and planners for disaster risk reduction strategies and will develop a response processes to help generate standardized approaches intended to enhance the resilience of communities. This project will ultimately develop innovative and implementable strategies and technologies to help reduce disaster risk and enhance societal coping capabilities.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.
