Support for the Future Earth Interim Director and Implementation

该奖项为“未来地球”项目的初始运作提供支持，这是一个国际研究项目，将为社会提供应对全球环境变化（GEC）带来的挑战所需的知识，并确定向全球可持续发展过渡的机会。在ICSU GEC项目下30年国际合作的基础上，未来地球旨在促进来自许多国家的自然科学和社会科学研究人员和利益相关者之间的合作。新的研究思路和合作将从这个多学科框架中涌现出来。未来地球还将帮助培养跨多个学科的下一代全球STEM研究人员。该奖项将允许未来地球的临时领导人开始实施，继续区域参与，支持现有GEC项目的集群，以便他们能够为未来地球做出全面贡献，并创建少量快速通道倡议。

This award provides support for the initial operations of Future Earth, an international research program that will provide the knowledge required for societies to face the challenges posed by Global Environmental Change (GEC) and to identify opportunities for transitions to global sustainability. Building on 30 years of international collaboration under the ICSU GEC programs, Future Earth aims to facilitate collaboration among natural and social science researchers and stakeholders from many countries. New research ideas and collaborations will emerge from this multidisciplinary framework. Future Earth will also help develop the next generation of globally engaged STEM researchers across many disciplines. This award will allow the interim leaders of Future Earth to begin implementation, continue regional engagement, support clustering of existing GEC projects so that they can make a full contribution to Future Earth, and create a small number of fast track initiatives.
