Summary of Project
|
This two-year project is in its final year and is multiplying both the capacity-building
benefits and the impact of the ongoing MA sub-global working group activities
in the Asia-Pacific region. APN funds will assure the quality and prominence
of the Asia-Pacific Sub-Global Assessments by increasing the participation of
researchers in the region in the global MA activities. The APN grant will contribute
to the long-term capacity of individuals and institutions in the region to produce
credible, scientific information about the effects of ecosystem change on human
well-being by supporting the involvement of more researchers (including junior
scholars) from the Asia- Pacific region in MA training workshops and working
group meetings.
