Temperate East Asia

Population growth, urbanization, and rapid industrialization have exerted great pressure on the natural resources of Temperate East Asia. Critical global change issues within the region include food and water security, possible changes to the monsoon system, air quality, climate variability, and human adaptation to environments' changes. The START-Temperate East Asia Regional Center (TEA-RC) was established in 1995. START activities in Temperate East Asia are guided by the START-Temperate East Asia Regional Committee (TEACOM), and coordinated by the TEA-RC, which also serves as Secretariat to TEACOM. In addition, a member of the TEA-RC staff serves as Liaison Officer to the Asia Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN) for the East Asia Region.

The International Project office for Monsoon Asia Integrated Regional Studies (MAIRS) is co-located with the TEA-RC.
