2 ‘Great acceleration’ 01/10/152 IGBP synthesis: Global Change and the Earth System, Steffen et al. 2004

3 What is Future Earth? A global platform for scientific collaboration Enabling integrated research on grand challenges and transformations to sustainability Strengthening partnerships between researchers, funders and users of research Solutions-oriented, building knowledge needed to accelerate transformations to sustainability Communicating science to society and society to science

4 4 Future Earth’s Sponsors: The Alliance 01/10/20154

5 Our objective To build and connect global knowledge to intensify the impact of research and find new ways of accelerating sustainable development

6 Primary aims Integration of science Co-production of knowledge

7 Future Earth Research Themes Transformation towards Sustainability Dynamic Planet Global Development 7 And cross-cutting issues: Observing systems, models, theory development, data management, research infrastructures

8 8 Models of knowledge production The ‘linear’ model of science and society Co-production of knowledge
