CAS-Climate: Workshop on Charting Net-Zero Carbon, Climate Resilient Transitions from Farms to Cities to National Scales: Learnings Across India and USA

2312305(拉马斯瓦米)。这次为期两天的研讨会将于2023年1月17日至18日在印度德里举行，将探讨印度和美国的科学现状，并在印度和美国的科学家、政策制定者、城市和工业界之间建立战略合作伙伴关系。研讨会的重点将是农场和城市一级的业务与更大的能源系统模型的多尺度整合，以实现多尺度的气候适应能力净零过渡规划。与会者将比较美国和印度的经验教训，并确定战略合作。该讲习班将确定知识差距，并为适应气候变化的净零过渡生成多尺度模型，将农场和城市一级的行动与更大的宏观能源系统模型联系起来。与会者将比较和对比印度和美国在分布式能源系统、利用城乡互动实现循环经济转型、新型建筑材料和农场级创新方面的工程和技术战略。通过将美国和印度的科学家与政策制定者、当地领导人、非政府组织和行业领袖聚集在一起，这次研讨会将促进建立伙伴关系和科学交流，有助于解决关键的知识差距和未来的合作工作。这次研讨会是在与印度驻华盛顿特区大使馆科学与技术参赞协商和协作下组织的，预计印度政府首席科学顾问阿贾伊·苏德博士将在开幕式上作主旨发言。科学家与广泛行业和规模的从业者和政策制定者举行的会议，将有助于了解在绘制零碳转型地图以及比较美国和印度的道路方面的实际考虑。研讨会预计将启动长期的印美研究合作和知识联合生产伙伴关系，提供数据、建模和战略分析，以实现可持续、气候弹性和公平的脱碳。创建这些成功的合作伙伴关系将产生巨大的影响，因为印度的人口约占世界人口的20%，美国的温室气体排放量约占全球排放量的20%。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。

2312305 (Ramaswami). This two-day workshop, to take place in Delhi, India on Jan. 17-18, 2023, will explore state-of-the-science and establish strategic coproduction partnerships between scientists, policymakers, cities, and industry in India and the US. The workshop will focus on multi- scale integration of farm- and city-level operations with larger energy systems models for multi- scale climate-resilient net-zero transition planning. Participants will compare learnings from US and India and identify strategic collaborations. This workshop will identify knowledge gaps and generate multi-scale models for climate-resilient net-zero transitions, linking farm- and urban-level actions with larger macro energy systems models. Participants will compare and contrast engineering and technology strategies across India and the US on distributed energy systems, circular economy transitions leveraging urban- rural interactions, novel construction materials, and farm-level innovations.By bringing together scientists from the US and India with policymakers, local leaders, NGOs, and industry leaders, this workshop will facilitate generation of partnerships and scientific exchange that can help address key knowledge gaps and future collaborative work. This workshop is being organized in consultation and collaboration with the Science & Technology Counsellor of the Indian Embassy in Washington D.C., and the opening keynote is expected to be given by Dr. Ajay Sood, who is Principal Science Advisor to the Government of India. Meetings of scientists with practitioners and policymakers across broad sectors and scales will contribute to learnings about practical considerations in mapping zero-carbon transitions and comparing US and India pathways. The workshop is expected to launch long-term Indo-US research collaboration and knowledge co-production partnerships that will provide data, modeling, and analysis of strategies to achieve decarbonization that are sustainable, climate resilient, and equitable. Creating these successful partnerships will have a large impact because India’s population represents approximately 20% of the world’s population, and United States greenhouse gas emissions represent approximately 20% of worldwide emissions.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.
