IAN facilitates a synthesis workshop for the Belmont Forum

Participants at the Belmont Forum in San Fransisco, CABill Dennison, Heath Kelsey and Vanessa Vargas joined up with Future Earth Coasts to facilitate a Belmont Forum workshop in San Francisco, CA associated with the annual American Geophysical Union conference. Representatives from eleven projects on coastal vulnerability and freshwater security shared their project findings and worked together to synthesize results. The transdisciplinary and transnational projects worked with a diversity of stakeholders to tackle complex issues to address the 'Belmont Challenge' which is to deliver knowledge needed for action to avoid and adapt to detrimental environmental change. IAN will produce a synthesis newsletter from this workshop.
