Event description

The mission of Future Earth is to accelerate transformations to global sustainability through research and innovation. To achieve this mission, Future Earth leads activities in four major areas:

1. To facilitate and amplify research

2. To convene and mobilise networks

3. To spark and promote innovation

4. To turn knowledge into action

Future Earth is rooted in the work of 20 Global Research Projects. These networks have a long history, in some cases stretching back decades, of generating research at the forefront of sustainability science. They played a critical role in forming the field of Earth system science – which considers how all of the parts of the planet, including human societies, connect to and shape each other. The Global Research Projects also led in defining the Anthropocene, a new epoch in the geologic history of Earth marked by the influence of humans on the planet.

Future Earth builds on this scientific legacy to accelerate transformations to sustainability through research and innovation. Future Earth is a major international convenor that fosters a culture of an engaged research based on the co-design and co-production of knowledge and tools. It works to incorporate the latest research findings into government, business and community decisions and policies. Future Earth experiments in generating new ideas, innovations, and collaborations and also foster networks of early career researchers, practitioners, and other innovators, encouraging new ways of thinking about how sustainability research and practice gets done.
