Human activities have modified the global cycles of nutrients and contaminants, and have disrupted ecosystem functions with consequences for the sustainability of these systems, and for human health. As a result, Canada is facing unprecedented environmental challenges linked to climate change and pollution, particularly in the developing North. The Chair will adopt a multidisciplinary approach that spans from environmental chemistry and ecology to health sciences. It will identify the governing biogeochemical principles by which contaminant and global change stressors will interact, and apply these principles to develop means to limit deleterious effects to ecosystem services and humans.

人类的活动改变了养分和污染物的全球周期，并破坏了生态系统功能，对这些系统的可持续性以及对人类健康的可持续性产生了影响。结果，加拿大面临着与气候变化和污染有关的前所未有的环境挑战，尤其是在发展中国家。主席将采用一种多学科的方法，从环境化学和生态学到健康科学。它将确定污染物和全球变化压力群体相互作用的管理生物地球化学原则，并应用这些原理来开发手段，以将有害影响限制在生态系统服务和人类中。
