Collaborative Research: USGCRP Core Support for Future Earth International Global Change Activities

未来地球是一个全球性组织，致力于促进对可持续发展转型的理解和知情决策，支持美国全球变化研究计划（USGCRP）的目标。 为了寻求解决世界上一些最紧迫和最复杂的可持续发展挑战的方法，未来地球进一步推动跨学科的方法，这些方法既受益于学术专业知识的多样性，又受益于在社会框架中进行基础研究的生活经验。未来地球美国中心通过协调世界各地的相关研究和创新，促进包容性和跨领域的全球网络（包括未来地球的国家和区域委员会），增加无障碍科学和科学政策文件的传播和影响，建立无障碍平台和召集机会，以提高全球可持续发展进步的可见度，并评估实现这些转型目标的进展情况。 该奖项支持未来地球美国中心在这些活动中的全球领导地位。未来地球美国中心将与国内和全球合作伙伴合作，促进跨学科和跨部门的合作，并动员新颖，创新的研究和与行动相关的变革性想法。 该中心将支持下一代可持续发展领导者在系统思维和循证决策等领域的发展，在拉丁美洲，加勒比地区和大洋洲的网络发展和能力建设方面制定有针对性的举措，在Future Earth的获奖出版物Anthropocene中强调知情的可持续发展选择，并发展年度可持续发展研究和创新大会，该大会已经进入第三年，已成为可持续发展科学的全球领先聚会。 此外，美国中心还将围绕特定机会发展多部门行动联盟，将美国研究人员与未来地球的广泛全球网络联系起来，并加速基于知识的变革。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Future Earth is a global organization working to advance understanding and informed decision making for transformations to sustainability, supporting goals of the United States Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). Seeking solutions to some of the world’s most pressing and complex sustainability challenges, Future Earth furthers transdisciplinary approaches that benefit from both a diversity of academic expertise and lived experience to ground research in a societal frame. The Future Earth US Hub contributes to this work through coordinating relevant research and innovation across the world, fostering inclusive and cross-cutting global networks including Future Earth’s national and regional committees, increasing the dissemination and impact of accessible science and science-policy documents, establishing accessible platforms and convening opportunities to raise the visibility of sustainability advances globally, and evaluating progress towards these transformational goals. This award supports global leadership of these activities by the Future Earth US Hub.Working with both domestic and global partners, the Future Earth US Hub will facilitate transdisciplinary and cross-sectoral collaborations and mobilize novel, innovative research and transformative ideas connected to action. The Hub will support the development of next generation sustainability leaders in areas such as systems thinking and evidence-based decision-making, develop targeted initiatives in network development and capacity building in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Oceania, highlight informed sustainability options in Future Earth’s award-winning publication Anthropocene, and grow the annual Sustainability Research and Innovation Congress, which already in its third year, has emerged as the leading global gathering for sustainability science. In addition, the US Hub will develop multi-sector action coalitions around specific opportunities to connect US researchers with the extensive global network of Future Earth and accelerate knowledge-based change.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.
