Future Earth Strategic Research Agenda 2014

Priorities for a global sustainability research strategy

The research priorities are organised under the conceptual framework proposed in the Future Earth Initial Design Report. Research activities are grouped under the themes of Dynamic Planet, Global Sustainable Development, and Transformations towards Sustainability. Each priority addresses one or more of the critical global sustainability challenges set out in the Future Earth 2025 Vision.
