Home Int'l CooperationFuture Earth Taipei
Future Earth is a global network of scientists, researchers, and innovators collaborating for a more sustainable planet. Bringing together and in partnership with the existing programme on global environmental change, such as DIVERSITAS, the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), the International Human Dimensions Programme (IHDP) and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), Future Earth is an international hub to coordinate new, interdisciplinary approaches to research on three themes: (1) Dynamic Planet, (2) Global Sustainable Development and (3) Transformations towards Sustainability. It is also a platform for international engagement to ensure that knowledge is generated in partnership with society and users of science. It is open to scientists of all disciplines, natural and social, as well as engineering, the humanities, and law.
Scientists in Taiwan have long participated in IGBP, IHDP, and DIVERSITAS since 1990+. Representatives from Academia Sinica have participated in Future Earth visioning process since 2011. Even the launch of Future Earth in 2012 was under the leadership of Past President Dr. Yuan T. Lee (ICSU Presidential term 2011-2014). As one of the ICSU's National member, Academia Sinica has been actively taking part in these processes.
