Description

Future Earth is a new 10-year international research programme jointly initiated by International Council for Science (ICSU), International Social Science Council (ISSC), Belmont Forum, UN Educational Scientific Cultural Organization (UNESCO), UN Environment Programme (UNEP), UN University (UNU) and World Meteorological Organization (WMO) that will develop the knowledge for responding effectively to the risks and opportunities of global climatic and environmental change and for supporting transformation towards global sustainability in the coming decades. Future Earth will provide a global knowledge and collaboration platform and deliver a step-change in the way science for sustainability is produced and used. Participants are invited to highlight relevant innovative new ideas and new developments in global sustainability, linking climatic and environmental change and development challenges to satisfy human needs for food, water, energy and health, effective interdisciplinary collaboration to find the best scientific solutions to multi-faceted problems, timely information for policy-makers, and increased capacity building in science, technology and innovation.
