Future Earth
• A global initiative
• Builds on ICSU’s earlier cluster of GEC research
programmes
4International Conference on Applied Energy, Taipei, Taiwan 1 June 2014
Key principles of Future Earth
research
• Seek scientific excellence: An overarching element is
commitment to science of the highest quality.
• Linking earth systems research to global
sustainability: focus on integrated earth systems
research and global sustainability
• International in scope: Focus on areas where
international research co-ordination is needed.
• Promote integration: Draws on expertise in natural and
social science, engineering, the humanities and
professions such as planning and law.
5International Conference on Applied Energy, Taipei, Taiwan 1 June 2014
Key principles of Future Earth
research/2
• Encourage co-design and co-production: involve
researchers and stakeholders, in governments, industry
and business, and civil society.
• Be bottom-up driven: Emphasize importance of
‘bottom-up’ ideas from research community and
stakeholders
• Provide solution-oriented knowledge: Foresight of
changes and risks, testing effectiveness of responses,
providing knowledge for new innovations and policies
• Promote inclusiveness: Strong attention will be given
to regional engagement, geographic and gender
balance, capacity building and networking
6International Conference on Applied Energy, Taipei, Taiwan 1 June 2014
Future Earth implementation
• Secretariat: Distributed with regional hubs
(planned)
• Hubs can be geographic or thematic

Asia Strategy
• Three pronged
1. Build on past programmes e.g. MAIRS (Monsoon
Asia Integrated Regional Study)
2. Create new programmes e.g. SIMSEA
(Sustainability Initiative for the Marginal Seas of
East Asia)
3. Address cross-cutting needs
11International Conference on Applied Energy, Taipei, Taiwan 1 June 2014
Building on existing programmes e.g. MAIRS
• 3.3.3 Energy security
• 5.7 Sustainable food,
water and energy systems
12
Creating new programmes e.g. SIMSEA
 Example of a project under development
 Spearheaded by two members of ICSU
Regional Committee for Asia and the Pacific
(RCAP) i.e.
 Prof. Lourdes J Cruz ( Immediate Past President
NRCP)
 Prof Toshio Yamagata (Director APL JAMSTEC)
13International Conference on Applied Energy, Taipei, Taiwan 1 June 2014
Marginal Seas in East Asia
(MSEA)
 Very important to international commerce and
global security, location of numerous heavily
populated megacities, active societal,
economical and industrial activities
 Region of very high marine biodiversity and
fishery activity in the world
 Extremely vulnerable to natural hazards such as
typhoons, storm surges, tsunamis etc.
14International Conference on Applied Energy, Taipei, Taiwan 1 June 2014
In the spirit of Future Earth
SIMSEA will serve to
 Propose collaborative platform to generate and share
knowledge and expertise (science for society)
 Work for solutions towards improving livelihoods and
enhancing resilience to unwanted environmental change,
hazards and disasters
 Support transformation towards sustainability
15International Conference on Applied Energy, Taipei, Taiwan 1 June 2014
Pacific strategy
• Two sub-hubs/clusters
1. Australia-New Zealand
2. South Pacific
17International Conference on Applied Energy, Taipei, Taiwan 1 June 2014
South Pacific sub-region – key issues raised
• Global change impacts, associated risks, adaptation and
community resilience
• Urbanization and associated challenges potentially driven
by environmental refugees
• Integrating indigenous and traditional knowledge and
modern science
• Ecosystem management and biodiversity
• Renewable energy systems
• The need for a “Future Ocean”, reflecting strong emphasis
on the ocean
• USP role in organizing Future Earth

Third prong: Cross cutting needs
21
Promote research to develop and understanding of what
sustainability means at the regional, national and sub-national
levels
Promote research on sustainability indicators to guide sustainability
at the national and sub-national levels
Create alliances of integrated research projects and groups to build
long-term strength
Foster and nurture networks of scientists across disciplinary fields
and with different stakeholders.
Need to facilitate research convergence and
collaboration
Publish examples of best practices of inter- and
transdisciplinary research on sustainability
Develop guidelines on how best to do co-design and co-
production of research
Increase human capacity development opportunities
through training workshops, research fellowships and
Professorial Chairs
Develop mentoring of young scientists in lesser developed
countries by more experienced researchers in the region
Need to develop capacity
23
Research effective points of entry into the policy arena are
Develop approaches and programmes to bring into dialogue groups of
people who do not normally talk to each other
Translate and share models on how to influence policy
Create or identify science-policy-stakeholder platforms that
effectively inform and engage
Engage local communities and local knowledge systems in generating
and nurturing knowledge societies
Need to enhance science-policy-stakeholder
interface
24
25
a “funders' vision for the priority knowledge
and capabilities derived from environmental
research that society needs, and the
underpinning research challenges over the
next decade to deliver them.”
