All of IHDP’s core and joint science projects will become part of Future Earth and have already begun the transitioning process. The new ten-year international research initiative for global environmental change will build on decades of social sciences research excellence of IHDP.

In order to make IHDP knowledge available for future generations, the IHDP office has been developing a comprehensive database that will be publicly accessible. It will contain activities, projects, publications and other relevant information from the programme’s lifetime and thus offer a valuable platform for global environmental change knowledge from the past two and a half decades.

Information about the IHDP core and joint science projects:
Earth System Governance (ESG)
Global Environmental Change and Human Security (GECHS)
Global Land Project (GLP)
Integrated History of People on Earth Project (IHOPE)
