上海市“海上丝路”河口海岸国际联合实验室项目简介：河口海岸是“海上丝绸之路”国家和地区(简称“海上丝路”) 经济增长的关键和脆弱区域。在气候变化和人类活动影响下，世界沿海国家、特别是海上丝路的海岸带面临着风暴潮、洪水、岸滩侵蚀、生态环境破坏、公共健康受损等多重挑战，迫切需要科技支撑。本项目作为联合国“海洋科学促进可持续发展十年行动”签约的 “大河三角洲计划”（Mega-Delta Programme）先行行动，紧密围绕国家“一带一路”发展战略，基于河口海岸学国家重点实验室的科研成果和国际合作基础，与巴基斯坦、孟加拉国、埃及、罗马尼亚等国家的优势单位建立国际联合实验室，通过开展国际学术合作、科技人员交流和培训、学生培养和资源共享，提升合作单位的科研水平和创新能力，将联合实验室建设成为“海上丝绸之路”国家和地区信息交流共享的“平台与智库”，服务“海上丝路”的防灾减灾、环境保护与公共健康需求。
Introduction about the International Joint Laboratory of Estuaries and Coasts (IJLEC), Shanghai:
Estuaries and coasts are the key and vulnerable areas for the economic growth of the "Maritime Silk Road" countries and regions. Under the effect of climate change and human activities, the coastal zones all over the world are faced with multiple challenges such as storm surges, flooding, coastal erosion, degradation of ecological environment and damage to public health, which urgently need scientific and technological support. This Joint Lab is marked as the priority project of Mega-Delta programme, the latter being endorsed by the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development in June, 2021. Based on the research achievements and international cooperation basis of the State Key Laboratory of Estuarine and Coastal Research, we try to establish an international joint laboratory with the leading institutions from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Romania and other countries. The cooperation is carried out through international academic cooperation, scientific and technological personnel exchange, students training and resources sharing. To improve the scientific research and innovation ability of cooperative partners. The joint laboratory will become a platform for information exchange and sharing among partner institutions, and serve the needs of partner countries for disaster prevention and mitigation, environmental protection and public health.
