This program is supported by Future Earth’s China Hub and the Secretariat of the China Association for Science and Technology Working Group for UN Environment Consultation Secretariat.

Our China Hub received applications from all over the world, and we are excited to announce 14 researchers have been selected after a collaborative review process by colleagues from Future Earth Hubs in China, France, Japan, and the United States.
