Strategic Partnership Projects

START's Partnerships include a close relationship with the inter-governmental community involved in global environmental change issues including UNEP, UNDP, IPCC, and WMO. START's strategic partners include the Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN), the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), and the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD). START collaborates with other organizations dedicated to building scientific research capacity across disciplines in developing regions, including TWAS, the International Foundation for Science (IFS), and the United Nations University (UNU).

The importance of START's objectives and its role in addressing scientific research and capacity building needs has been formally recognized by several UN bodies, has garnered support by numerous national scientific academies, and has been supported by a variety of governmental and non-governmental bodies.
