The Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN) is an inter-governmental network for the promotion of global change research and links between science and policy making in the Asia-Pacific region. START has partnered with APN in order to support research on change in complex climate, ocean and terrestrial systems, and on physical, chemical, biological and socio-economic processes. The ultimate goal is to aid in our understanding of the complex mechanisms and impacts of global environmental problems on human health and ecosystems in order to reduce uncertainties related to global environmental change.
