The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $192,300 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGA Research Foundation) on July 15, 2024. This grant provides support for U.S. researchers participating in an international, multi-country consortium led by the Belmont Forum focused on studying the role of cultural landscapes in addressing climate change challenges.
The project team, which includes partners from France, Norway, and Spain, will develop transdisciplinary approaches to assess the vulnerability and resilience of cultural landscapes to climate change impacts. They will work with local communities to create assessment and planning tools that integrate social and ecological data with downscaled climate projections. The goal is to assist these communities in understanding potential risks and inform climate mitigation and adaptation strategies. The project aims to advance knowledge on the essential ecological and sociocultural services that cultural landscapes can provide to help address global climate change.
