Professor Liverman will discuss, "Future Earth" - a new 10-year initiative which aims to deliver knowledge to enable societies to meet their sustainable development goals in the coming decades.  Created by an alliance that includes ICSU and its global change programs, the International Social Science Council (ISSC), the Belmont Forum (a high level group of major funders of global environmental change research) and UNEP, UNU, UNESCO, and WMO, Future Earth seeks to reinvigorate international global change research as an enterprise that links natural and social science, science and stakeholders, and environmental research to development agendas.  Prof. Liverman will reflect on the challenges that have faced integrated international programs to date, based on experience with several ICSU programs, and share the conceptual frameworks and initial priorities of Future Earth. ICSU seeks to engage the international global change research community in this endeavor and welcomes comments!
