The System for Analysis, Research and Training (START) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization that works to establish and foster regional networks of collaborating scientists and institutions in developing countries. These networks conduct research on regional aspects of environmental change, assess impacts and vulnerabilities to such changes, and provide information to policy makers. START acts to enhance the scientific capacity of developing countries to address the complex processes of environmental change and degradation through a variety of training and career development programmes. START mobilizes resources to support infrastructure and research programmes on environmental change within developing regions. The many scientists affiliated with START conduct research to reduce the uncertainties related to environmental change and sustainable development.
