项目摘要

This proposed partnership addresses key challenges in planning for sustainable urban environments. The themes of water and energy are of strategic relevance to development goals in Brazil. The proposed partnership activities will build on an established collaborative knowledge base, bringing together social scientists and engineers with substantial track records in relation to sustainable urban development. In Brazil, the water/energy nexus is a research theme of major importance, due to water scarcity, and since >70% of Brazilian electricity comes from hydroelectricity. Evidence suggests that interventions at different spatio-temporal scales are required to reduce significant impacts-for-development resulting from mismanagement of water/energy resources. The inter-disciplinary project team and proposed activities shall afford innovative forms of dissemination and knowledge exchange between diverse academics, professionals and publics. Planned activities will include publicly-available research summaries, an online research network, the development of an existing app for the Brazilian context, a summer school and theory/practice workshops, and collaborative skills development/sharing. These activities will ensure that the project has extensive impact in Brazil, with potential to deliver long-term benefits in areas of strategic relevance to this call (water/energy), for the welfare of society in diverse developing contexts. Specifically, building upon the project team's existing links, the project will produce impacts in collaboration with NGOs focused upon sustainable development in Latin America and national/regional partners directly involved in the Brazilian water/energy nexus. Finally, the project will support the research team as it develops larger, related collaborative research projects on the crucial theme of water/energy in sustainable urban development.

这一拟议的伙伴关系解决了规划可持续城市环境方面的主要挑战。水和能源主题与巴西的发展目标具有战略相关性。拟议的伙伴关系活动将建立在已建立的协作知识库的基础上，将在可持续城市发展方面有丰富记录的社会科学家和工程师聚集在一起。在巴西，由于缺水，水/能源关系是一个非常重要的研究主题，而且巴西70%的电力来自水力发电。有证据表明，需要在不同的时空尺度上采取干预措施，以减少水/能源资源管理不善对发展造成的重大影响。跨学科项目小组和拟议的活动应为不同的学者、专业人员和公众之间提供创新的传播和知识交流形式。计划的活动将包括公开提供的研究摘要、一个在线研究网络、为巴西开发现有的应用程序、暑期学校和理论/实践讲习班，以及协作技能发展/分享。这些活动将确保该项目在巴西产生广泛影响，有可能在与这一呼吁有关的战略领域(水/能源)产生长期效益，在不同的发展中环境中造福社会。具体地说，在项目组现有联系的基础上，该项目将与侧重于拉丁美洲可持续发展的非政府组织以及直接参与巴西水/能源关系的国家/区域伙伴合作，产生影响。最后，该项目将支持研究小组就可持续城市发展中的水/能源这一关键主题开发更大的相关合作研究项目。
