This Global Centers Track 2 Design award undertakes activities aiming to assess the risk, evaluate impacts, design adaptation and mitigation strategies, and build resilience for communities living in coastal low-land regions in Southeast Asia. Southeast Asia (SEA) is a critical manufacturing hub in the global supply chain supporting a large and culturally and ethnically diverse population in densely populated urban areas in vulnerable coastal regions and deltas. A team of experts from six U.S. universities working in collaboration with researchers from universities in Vietnam, Thailand and Singapore plans to design a global center with Southeast Asia as a Living Lab (SEALL) to develop mitigation and adaptation strategies for vulnerable communities in the changing climate. The project seeks to build resilience to a changing climate using strategies that range from basic research to technological advancement, education, outreach, and workforce development and adopting approaches that are use-inspired and interdisciplinary. The SEALL center will develop community-centered and science-based adaptation and mitigation policies for low-lying regions. SEALL will transform the specialized education of engineers, computer scientists, biologists, and social scientists through an integrated approach to better prepare for such disasters, thus mitigating the human and financial costs and disrupting the global supply chain. Lessons learned from building resilience to climate change in SEA will be valuable for other regions with extensive coastlines, large rivers, low-lying land, and tropical weather, such as India, Bangladesh, and the American Southeast. This project has three research and education themes: Theme 1, carbon-neutral sustainable urban development; Theme 2, low-impact and resilient agriculture; and Theme 3, health impacts of climate change and adaptation. This planning grant will complete the following activities: 1) a workshop in Hanoi that brings together researchers, policymakers, industry experts, students, and communities from the US and SEA to share knowledge and develop further collaboration on climate risks and building resilience; 2) three exploratory projects over 18 months to further develop the partnerships built at the workshop; 3) a design plan for a center-scale collaboration that would allow participants to apply the lessons learned from the SEA living lab, one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change, to other coastal regions. The outcome of this design stage is to build capacity for future research, education, and implementation of mitigation and adaptation strategies for coastal communities in the changing climate. A global center on climate change and clean energy with SEA as a living lab would have potentially profound impacts on building intellectual, educational, and implementation capacities on climate change mitigation, adaptation, and resilience. U.S. students from diverse backgrounds and with limited international travel and education resources will be recruited for this project. This award is funded by the Global Centers program, an innovative program that supports use-inspired research addressing global challenges related to climate change and/or clean energy. Track 2 design awards support U.S.-based researchers to bring together international teams to develop research questions and partnerships, conduct landscape analyses, synthesize data, and/or build multi-stakeholder networks to advance their use-inspired research at larger scale in the future.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.

该全球轨道2设计奖开展了旨在评估风险，评估影响，设计适应和缓解策略的活动，并为居住在东南亚沿海低地地区的社区建立韧性。东南亚（SEA）是全球供应链中的关键制造中心，在脆弱的沿海地区和三角洲的人口稠密的城市地区，在人口稠密的城市地区支持大型，文化和种族多样化的人口。来自六所美国大学的专家团队与越南，泰国和新加坡大学的研究人员合作，计划与东南亚一起设计一个全球中心，作为生活实验室（SEALL），以制定不断变化的气候中弱势社区的缓解和适应策略。该项目旨在利用从基础研究到技术进步，教育，外展和劳动力发展以及采用受使用和跨学科的方法的策略来建立对气候变化的韧性。 SEALL中心将针对低洼地区制定以社区为中心的适应性和缓解政策。 SEALL将通过综合方法来改善工程师，计算机科学家，生物学家和社会科学家的专业教育，以更好地为此类灾难做准备，从而减轻人类和财务成本并破坏全球供应链。从建筑韧性到海洋气候变化的经验教训对于其他海岸线，大河流，低洼土地和热带天气（例如印度，孟加拉国和美国东南部）的其他地区来说是有价值的。 该项目具有三个研究和教育主题：主题1，碳中性可持续性城市发展；主题2，低影响力和弹性农业；和主题3，气候变化和适应的健康影响。该计划赠款将完成以下活动：1）河内的研讨会，将研究人员，政策制定者，行业专家，学生，学生和社区汇集在一起​​，以分享知识并进一步建立有关气候风险的知识并建立弹性； 2）在18个月内的三个探索性项目，以进一步发展在研讨会上建立的合作伙伴关系； 3）一个中心尺度合作的设计计划，该计划将使参与者能够从海上生活实验室（Sea Living Lab）中学到的教训，这是气候变化最脆弱的地区之一，是其他沿海地区。这个设计阶段的结果是为在不断变化的气候下为沿海社区提供缓解和适应策略的未来研究，教育和实施能力。作为生活实验室的全球气候变化和清洁能源中心将对建立智力，教育和实施能力对缓解气候变化，适应和韧性产生深远的影响。该项目将招募来自不同背景和有限的国际旅行和教育资源的美国学生。 该奖项由Global Centers计划提供资金，该计划是一项创新计划，该计划支持以使用与气候变化和/或清洁能源相关的全球挑战的使用启发的研究。 Track 2设计奖支持美国的研究人员将国际团队汇集在一起​​，以开发研究问题和伙伴关系，进行景观分析，合成数据和/或建立多利益相关者网络，以在未来的更大规模上推进其使用启发的研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过评估范围来审查CR CRIFIAIA MER INTERCTIAR INTERCTIARIAS INTERCTIARIAS INTERCTIARIAL IFTIRAIA MERIT INTERCTIAL和FLOCKIATIAL INTERCTIAL和FLOCKIATIAL和FLOCKIAN FUCENTIAL。
