ESSP Open Science Conference on Global Environmental Change: Regional Challenges

获得该奖项后，美国国家科学基金会代表地球系统科学伙伴关系向世界气候研究方案主任提供了支持，参加将于2006年11月9日至12日在北京举行的题为“全球环境变化区域挑战”的地球系统科学伙伴关系开放科学会议，中国。2001年7月在阿姆斯特丹举行的全球变化开放科学会议聚集了来自105个国家的1400名科学家和其他有关方面，描述、讨论和辩论对自然和人类驱动的地球变化的最新科学理解。他们研究了这些变化对我们的社会和生活的影响，并探索了未来可能发生的事情。与会者签署了《关于全球变化的阿姆斯特丹宣言》，其中指出，需要一个新的全球环境科学体系。它呼吁加强目前全球环境变化研究项目之间的合作，加强学科、环境和发展问题以及自然和社会科学的整合。它还呼吁更大程度的跨国界合作，并加强努力，使发展中国家的科学家能够充分参与。这次会议将提供一个机会，回顾自那时以来的进展，并专注于综合和多学科方面。

With this award, NSF provided support to the Director of the World Climate Research Programme on behalf of the Earth System Science Partnership (ESSP) for the ESSP Open Sciences Conference entitled "Global Environmental Change Regional Challenges" that will be held in Beijing, China, 9-12 November 2006. The Global Change Open Science Conference in Amsterdam in July 2001 brought together 1400 scientists and other interested parties form 105 countries to describe, discuss and debate the latest scientific understanding of natural and human-driven changes to our planet. They examined the effects of these changes on our societies and our lives, and explored what the future might hold. Participants at the Conference signed "The Amsterdam Declaration on Global Change" which, among other things, stated". "A new system of global environmental science is required." It called for strengthening of current cooperation among the global environmental change research programs and for greater integration across disciplines, environment and development issues and the natural and social sciences. It also called for grater collaboration across national boundaries and for intensified efforts to enable the full involvement of scientists from developing countries. This Conference will provide an opportunity to review progress since that time and to focus on integrative and multidisciplinary aspects.
