Briefing on New Report: *Advancing Sustainability of U.S. - Mexico
Transboundary Drylands: Proceedings of a Workshop*

11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
The National Academies has just released *Advancing Sustainability of U.S.
- Mexico Transboundary Drylands: Proceedings of a Workshop*.  BECS, along
with the Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate and the Water Science
and Technology Board oversaw this activity that was a bi-national
collaboration between the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, with support
from the George and Cynthia Mitchell Endowment for Sustainability Sciences,
and the Mexican Academy of Sciences, Academy of Engineering, and National
Academy of Medicine. It brought together experts from both countries who
discussed the key sustainability challenges facing stakeholders in the
Mexico – U.S. drylands region and binational priorities for research that
could promote sustainable development.

The board will discuss the workshop and ensuing proceedings in depth in
this session.  A Spanish language version is forthcoming.

The *Board on Environmental Change and Society* (BECS) mobilizes social and
behavioral sciences to identify equitable and effective solutions to the
challenges at the intersection of environmental change and society. Such
solutions must consider drivers of behavior and decision making at all
scales, including individuals, communities, businesses and governments.
Critical drivers include societal values, norms, socioeconomic factors,
markets, and policies. The Board draws on interdisciplinary expertise to
address the social, political, economic and equity dimensions of
environmental change.  Funding for the board is provided by the National
Science Foundation
