Core activities

We pursue our vision by supporting collaborative regional research, scientific capacity development, and strengthening linkages between the science, policy and practitioner communities.

Core activities

Regional research

Through the competitive Collaborative Regional Research Programme (CRRP), we promote regional research that has potential to improve our understanding of global change and its implications while contributing to a sound scientific basis for policymaking in areas affected by global change.

Capacity development

CAPaBLE, our scientific capacity development programme, aims to enhance the capacity of scientists, policymakers and practitioners to assess global change issues, and explore options to resolve issues towards achieving sustainability. Through CAPaBLE, we support activities that enhance capacity at individual, organizational and systemic levels.

Science-policy linkages

One of our goals is to strengthen interactions among scientists and policymakers. To this end, we work with governments, project teams and international partner organizations to develop policy-relevant knowledge products and create empowering environments conducive to enhancing science-policy interactions.
