Transdisciplinary workshops to advance research on urbanization and the food-energy-water nexus

该奖项为全球变化分析、研究和培训系统（START）提供了一系列跨学科研讨会的支持，重点关注城市化对食物-水-能源关系的影响。该组织是美国全球变化研究计划战略计划的重要组成部分，因为它与国际参与有关。开始的?它的使命是“增加研究、教育和培训的机会，加强发展中国家的科学能力，以理解、交流和激励针对关键的全球变化挑战的行动”，它解决了美国全球变化研究计划的所有战略目标。这笔资金将使START能够继续制定和实施推进？研究驱动的能力建设？在跨学科研究中。这种方法强调通过实践进行体验式学习，特别是对职业生涯早期的科学家而言，这种方法将有针对性的技能建设和网络机会整合到对全球变化产生的区域影响和风险的研究中。开始的?他的工作侧重于粮食-水-能源系统与可持续发展、城市发展、水资源管理以及农业和粮食安全之间关系的关键挑战。

This award provides support to the global change SysTem for Analysis, Research, and Training (START) for a series of transdisciplinary workshops focused on the impacts of Urbanization on the Food-Water-Energy Nexus. This organization is an essential component of the US Global Change Research Program strategic plan as it relates to international engagement. START?s mission "to increase opportunities for research, education and training that strengthen scientific capacities in developing countries to understand, communicate and motivate action on critical global change challenges" addresses all of the US Global Change Research Program strategic goals. The funding will enable START to continue developing and implementing programs that advance ?research-driven capacity building? in transdisciplinary research. This approach emphasizes experiential learning by doing, particularly for early-career scientists, in which targeted skill building and networking opportunities are integrated into research on regional impacts and risks stemming from global change. START?s work focuses on critical challenges at the nexus of food-water-energy systems and sustainable development, urban development, water resources management, and agriculture and food security.
