Climate change and its impact on society and the environment are some of the most pressing issues facing our nation and the world today. To address these challenges, the American Geophysical Union, one of the largest geoscience professional societies will collect ideas on potential ways to increase our understanding of processes and develop creative approaches to help combat and potentially mitigate the effects of climate change brought on by extreme weather events, changing weather patterns and landscapes, sea level rise, migration of species both on land and in the ocean, among others. Goals are to provide a prospectus of possible solutions and/or mitigations, with an emphasis on those subjects that would have a positive impact and be able to deliver impacts on on a time frame of 2 to 3 years. An aggressive program of outreach to geoscience community members, working groups, and geoscience disciplinary executive teams will be carried out. A significant component of these efforts will be on collecting ideas and thoughts from early career geoscience researchers and members of commonly marginalized and underrepresented groups. Broader impacts of the activity include development and delivery of potential, workable approaches to better understanding climate change with a framework of possible means of slowing or mitigating negative impacts on society and the environment. Input from marginalized communities and those that have not had a strong voice in decisions made by policy makers and that commonly suffer impacts from decisions on infrastructure and degradation of environmental conditions will be solicited and incorporated into the final report.The negative impacts of climate change on the environment and society are serious concerns for the environment as well as populations and governments. The American Geophysical Union (AGU) is a major professional society of over 60,000 geoscientists. It will use this vast array of geoscientists via its membership and others to contribute to ideating possible solutions to issues related to climate change. To do this AGU is holding a series of workshops, discussion groups, and surveys to identify and catalog ideas and solutions to climate related natural process issues where earth, atmosphere, ocean, polar, and geospace science plays a major role and for which deliverables with major impacts can be generated within two to three years. The AGU will accomplish this task by convening executive committees, working groups, and its professional society members to crowdsource ideas and possible avenues of attack and research to fill gaps in knowledge to allow potential solutions to move forward while still preserving precious earth environments. AGU is putting the generation of this information and its community’s input as a priority with the goal of producing a report to be made public and submitted to the National Science Foundation.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.

气候变化及其对社会和环境的影响是我们国家和当今世界面临的一些最紧迫的问题。 为了应对这些挑战，最大的地球科学专业协会之一美国地球物理联合会将收集关于潜在方式的想法，以增加我们对过程的理解，并制定创造性的方法，以帮助应对和潜在地减轻极端天气事件、不断变化的天气模式和景观、海平面上升、陆地和海洋物种迁移等带来的气候变化的影响。 目标是提供一份可能的解决方案和/或缓解措施的计划书，重点是那些将产生积极影响并能够在2至3年的时间框架内产生影响的主题。将开展一项积极的地球科学社区成员、工作组和地球科学学科执行团队外联计划。 这些努力的一个重要组成部分将是收集早期职业地球科学研究人员和通常被边缘化和代表性不足的群体成员的想法和想法。该活动的更广泛影响包括制定和提供潜在的可行办法，以更好地了解气候变化，并建立一个减缓或减轻对社会和环境的负面影响的可能手段框架。 将征求边缘化社区和在决策者的决策中没有强有力发言权的社区的意见，并将其纳入最后报告，气候变化对环境和社会的负面影响是环境、人口和政府的严重关切。美国地球物理学联合会（AGU）是一个由60，000多名地球科学家组成的专业协会。它将通过其成员和其他方面利用这一大批地球科学家，为设想气候变化相关问题的可能解决方案作出贡献。为此，AGU正在举办一系列研讨会、讨论小组和调查，以确定和编目与气候相关的自然过程问题的想法和解决方案，其中地球、大气、海洋、极地和地球空间科学发挥着重要作用，并且可以在两到三年内产生具有重大影响的成果。AGU将通过召集执行委员会，工作组及其专业协会成员来完成这一任务，以众包思想和可能的攻击和研究途径，以填补知识空白，使潜在的解决方案能够向前推进，同时仍然保护宝贵的地球环境。AGU将这些信息的生成及其社区的投入作为优先事项，目标是制作一份报告，向公众公布并提交给国家科学基金会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为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来支持。
