International Science Council's global sustainability science activities

该奖项为国际科学理事会指导的几项国际活动提供支持，这些活动与1990年《全球变化研究法案》(GCRA)(P.L.101-606)中概述的美国全球变化研究计划(USGCRP)的战略目标以及NSF在全球环境变化和可持续发展科学方面的计划密切相关。该奖项将有助于支持美国在国际科学活动中的领导地位，并促进在具有全球战略重要性的领域开展对美国科学和国际合作伙伴互惠互利的合作。该奖项支持围绕可持续发展科学在解决挑战方面发挥关键作用的三个主要领域的网络建设、研讨会、会议和综合报告-1)级联和系统性风险，(2)社会变革，以及(3)机器学习和人工智能，以实现风险知情发展。这些活动将主要侧重于制定可持续发展研究的综合科学议程，综合研究成果以提高其影响力，创造机会让早期职业研究人员参与进来，并扩大和加深与政策、企业和民间社会利益攸关方的网络。该奖项将加强协调，提供关键知识，并确定权衡、障碍和知识差距，以最大限度地发挥科学对这些挑战的贡献。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides support for several international activities directed by the International Council for Science that are closely aligned with the strategic goals of the US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) outlined in the Global Change Research Act (GCRA) of 1990 (P.L. 101 – 606) and of NSF's program in global environmental change and sustainability science. This award will help support US leadership in international science activities and to enable collaborations that are mutually beneficial for US science and international partners in areas of global strategic importance. The award supports network building, workshops, meetings, and synthesis reports around three primary areas where sustainability science can play a critical role in solving challenges - 1) cascading and systemic risks, (2) social transformations, and (3) machine learning and artificial intelligence for risk-informed development. These activities will principally focus on developing integrated scientific agendas in sustainability research, synthesize research findings to increase their impact, create opportunities to engage early career researchers, and extend and deepen networks with stakeholders in policy, business and civil society. This award will strengthen coordination, provide critical knowledge, and identify trade-offs, barriers, and knowledge gaps to maximize the contribution of science to these challenges.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.
