LETTER FROM OUR GLOBAL HUB DIRECTORS After 2015, a landmark year for sustainability that saw the launch of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement, the world got down to implementing its ambitions in 2016. The research community made huge strides to take stock of what it has accomplished and determine how it can support the fundamental transformations occurring around the globe.

minds in their borders to address local priorities for sustainability – from making communities in Asia more resilient to monsoons to securing clean drinking water in North Africa. And we have made big steps in generating the knowledge needed to solve the challenges facing the world. In early 2016, Future Earth kicked off a series of research collaborations called Knowledge-Action Networks (page 31) focusing on the likes of ocean, health and cities. These collaborations are now providing a platform for diverse voices – hailing from research to policy and the arts – to share their knowledge and shape sustainability research on the global stage. Our Global Research Projects also produced leading research on the planet’s land, air and water and the people who depend on them (research highlights, page 22). This year, we gained a new perspective on the diversity of animals and plants that live in mountains and learned when humans began to shift the world’s climate.

The same was true for Future Earth. In the last year, we broadened our research agenda and deepened our engagement with professionals and innovators outside academia to deliver on our global mission: to generate the knowledge needed to build transformations to a more sustainable world. We participated in some of the biggest sustainability events of the year. We strapped virtual reality headsets onto attendees at the Habitat III summit in Quito, Ecuador, and discussed local climate data at the Marrakech Climate Change Conference in Morocco. We also strengthened our international ties by signing new strategic partnership agreements with the Group on Earth Observations and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services.

The next year will also be an important one for Future Earth. We’re gearing up for major global events like the 7th International Conference on Sustainability Science (ICSS) in Stockholm, Sweden, and the 2018 Cities and Climate Change Science Conference in Edmonton, Canada. We also recognise that Future Earth is a collaborative enterprise, and if we want to achieve our mission in 2017-2018, we need your help to do it. We invite all those working in sustainability to to join us to generate integrate knowledges to help build a more sustainable world.

We have also grown by leaps and bounds. In 2016-2017, Future Earth brought on new team members in research and communications. We launched new products for a range of communities, including researchers, local governments, businesses, non-governmental organisations and more: the Open Network (page 12), Future Earth Media Lab (page 13) and Anthropocene magazine (page 16), to name a few.

STATE OF THE PLANET IN NUMBERS In 2016-2017, Future Earth kicked off a new effort to take regular stock of the state of the planet – examining the good news and bad for humanity’s life support system. As part of this initiative, we captured some of the latest research from sustainability science in an animated video and online slideshow launched on Earth Day. Here are five numbers that are important for understanding our place in the world:

The number of people living in extreme poverty has dropped by more than half in the last 20 years1. This trend is part of a profound transformation in human wellbeing that has occurred around the world: People are living longer than they ever have 2, and infant mortality rates are plummeting 3. Since 1990, 2.6 billion people have gained access to improved drinking water 4.

1.75 TRILLION

-50

The 62 richest people in the world in 2015 accumulated 1.75 trillion USD in wealth – the same as the wealth of the poorest 50% of the global population 5. Despite the gains in human wellbeing seen in recent decades, inequality is soaring around the globe. This means that hundreds of millions of people are being left behind – unable to benefit from pioneering and life-sustaining advances in medicine, technology, energy and more.

Research by Will Steffen and colleagues has shown that the world has crossed four out of nine “planetary boundaries”, key limits that were likely important to the emergence of human civilisations 6. People are pushing Earth into uncertain and potentially dangerous territory – driving up global temperatures, clear-cutting forests, dumping fertilisers into rivers and oceans and forcing animals, plants and other organisms towards extinction.

According to the “Carbon Law” developed by a team of international scientists, the world must cut its emissions by half every decade to curb the growth in global temperatures 7. The planet’s 7.5 billion people and counting now face the daunting challenge of moving Earth toward a new and more sustainable trajectory. But change is possible: In the last decade, new global investments in renewable energy jumped up nearly six-fold 8.

BILLION

1/2

The world’s farmers will need to feed over 9 billion people by 2050. But research by Karlheinz Erb, a Global Land Programme fellow, and colleagues shows that there are many options for feeding a growing planet – all without requiring further deforestation 9. If people cut down on their meat intake or switch to vegetarian or vegan diets, the options expand substantially.

FUTURE EARTH HIGHLIGHTS

FROM KNOWLEDGE TO ACTION ON SUSTAINABILITY Future Earth kicked off an initial series of nine KnowledgeAction Networks in 2016. These research collaborations bring together researchers with leaders in policy, business, civil society, the arts and more to generate solutions for critical sustainability challenges â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from threats to food security to the rapid growth in cities and vanishing coral reefs. And they made big gains this year: In July 2016, experts in the links between planetary and human health met in Italy to discuss the priorities for research around the Health Knowledge-Action Network. Later that year, members of the Ocean Knowledge-Action Network participated in an international workshop in Germany. There they worked to identify the research questions that are most important to

the health of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seas. The Water-Energy-Food Nexus Knowledge-Action Network got rolling, too, helping to organise a symposium in November 2016 on sustainable innovation.

GEARING UP FOR IPCC’S SIXTH ASSESSMENT REPORT Climate experts from around the world met in Stockholm in August 2016 to discuss research needs for the next global-scale report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) – its Sixth Assessment Report, scheduled to come out in 2022. The meeting was organised by Future Earth, the UN’s Programme of Research on Climate Change Vulnerability, Impacts and Adaptation (PROVIA) and IPCC. It brought together more than 80 participants from 28 countries, including leaders in international science and policy, such as Isabella Lövin, Deputy Prime Minister of Sweden. From the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, participants talked about the lessons they could learn from IPCC’s most recent assessment report. That includes how climate scientists can do a better job of assessing and communicating the risks around climate change – Corinne Le Quéré argued that scientists should spend 20% of their time communicating the results of their work. Attendees discussed how IPCC can delve deeper into solutions for adapting to climate change, such as by building sea walls to keep out rising sea-levels.

SCIENCE AND THE SDGS A report released by the German Committee Future Earth laid out the important role that science can play in international efforts to implement the 2030 agenda on sustainable development and curb climate change. The report captures the results of two international conferences supported by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft that examined some specific dimensions on how scientists can support the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The report concludes that researchers can help to develop an innovative and smart indicator framework and contribute foundational knowledge in the form of topical assessments (in addition to IPBES and IPCC) and in particular untangle how goals, targets and

their means of implementation interact, in supporting or contradictory ways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This report shows that research collaboration across nations, disciplines and knowledge domains can work extremely well to suggest possible pathways for enhancing global sustainability,â&#x20AC;? Martin Visbeck, chair of the German Committee, wrote in the report. Read the report here At a 2016 workshop in Villia Vigoni, Italy, participants discussed how science can support the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. The results of this workshop and an earlier meeting were summarised in a report published in December 2016. Credit: DKN (German Committee Future Earth)

OPEN NETWORK - A DIGITAL COMMUNITY FOR GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY In October 2016, Future Earth launched the Open Network. This online platform brings together researchers and other professionals to do the work needed to build transformations toward a sustainable world. Here, members from across the globe can connect with peers, collaborate on research and engagement and learn about new opportunities in sustainability. The platformâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s features include private and public discussion groups, a crowd-sourced jobs board and events calendar and tools for hosting webinars.

The Open Network now includes more than 3,000 members from 108 countries and counting. Researchers are also using it to scope out and apply for funding opportunities, including through the Future Earth Program for Early-stage Grants Advancing Sustainability Science (PEGASuS). Anyone with an interest in sustainability can get started on the Open Network, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free to join. Start exploring at network.futureearth.org

FUTURE EARTH MEDIA LAB Virtual reality (VR) has been called the “empathy machine.” The technology is now so good that 360-degree documentary films can trick the mind into creating a memory of having visited, for example, a favela or refugee camp in real life. This has significant potential to connect people to global sustainability science. The Future Earth Media Lab has been bringing together VR filmmakers and technologists with journalists and scientists for a series of hackathons to develop new VR experiences. The first hackathon has led to two new VR films in production, one on planetary boundaries and the other filmed in Fortaleza in Brazil documenting life in the Gereba favela. These collaborations gave rise to Future Earth’s first spin-off company – Scene There. The BBC and Wired covered its first major projects: a VR experience in North Korea and our favela initiative. The next hackathon will focus on climate and take place in Leeds, UK, in 2017. This is one of the many projects spinning up at the Media Lab, a co-production with Globaïa and the International Council for Science, which is designed as a space for innovation around narrative, design, technology and communications. Other projects relate to data visualisation, artificial intelligence and solutions-focused journalism. In 2016, we launched the Media Lab website and blog. medialab.futureearth.org medium.com/future-earth-media-lab Caption: Hurricane Matthew strikes South Carolina (9 October 2016).

FUTURE EARTH, HABITAT III AND LAUNCH OF OUR URBAN KNOWLEDGE-ACTION NETWORK Cities are the action arm of civilisation. But how will the world catalyse cities to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals? Over 30,000 people descended on the Ecuadorian capital Quito for the third United Nations cities conference, Habitat III, in October 2016. Throughout the summit, Future Earth ran Habitat X Change, a knowledge exchange pavilion that connected science and society, with our partners the International Council for Science and the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam. Habitat III was the perfect venue to launch the Urban Knowledge-Action Network and the Anthropocene magazine (page 16) at two high-profile events. Leaders of the Urban Knowledge-Action Network published a commentary in Nature arguing for much greater interaction between science and policy for city development. This was one of the outcomes of the engagement of the Future

Earth community in the negotiation process, which led to the adoption of the New Urban Agenda â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an international plan for developing sustainable and equitable cities. In advance of the conference, we ran an urban data visualisation competition that attracted innovative entries from across the globe. Winners included visualisations of Colombiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s civil war and its impact on urbanisation and crowd-sourced flood maps of Chennai, India.

SEEDS OF BRIGHTER FUTURES “How do you retain hope in a time that isn’t hopeful?” That was the question posed by Elena Bennett of McGill University at the 2017 meeting of the World Economic Forum. It’s also the question at the centre of Seeds of Good Anthropocenes, a project launched by Bennett and her colleagues. This effort, which emerged from an initiative sponsored by Future Earth, gathers examples, or “seeds,” of ways that people are already transforming their communities for the better. In 2016, the project had collected more than 500 seeds. They include a drive to develop “community currencies” in Kenya and a campaign to protect rainforests by providing low-cost healthcare in Indonesian Borneo. The researchers say that, taken together, these seeds might reveal pathways for the world to become more sustainable and equitable. Researchers from the Future Earth Global Research Projects ecoSERVICES and the Programme on Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS) contributed to Seeds of Good Anthropocenes.

A NEW MAGAZINE: ANTHROPOCENE – INNOVATION IN THE HUMAN AGE October 2016 saw the publication of the first issue of Anthropocene magazine, a new digital, print and live magazine from Future Earth. This publication brings together writers, designers, scientists and entrepreneurs to explore how we can create a sustainable human age we actually want to live in. Much like Foreign Policy, MIT Technology Review and Harvard Business Review have done for their respective fields, Anthropocene aims to be a thought leader for the sustainability and development world. In 2017, the magazine won the 2017 Excellence in Journalism Award from the Renewable Resource Foundation. The first issue was launched at the Habitat III summit in Quito, Ecuador. It explored art that can deliver clean water

and electricity and asked whether the way we think about electronic waste is in need of repair. ProPublica’s Andrew Revkin also shared his own “Anthropocene journey.” Funding for the magazine comes from individual and institutional memberships as well as foundations. www.anthropocenemagazine.org Become a supporting member: www.anthropocenemagazine. org/membership/ Get Daily Science updates in your inbox: www. anthropocenemagazine.org/daily-science/

TRANSDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH

At the heart of Future Earth’s mission to engage both science and society is support for transdisciplinary research (TD) that advances actionable knowledge for addressing sustainability challenges. This approach to research focuses on “codesigning” and “co-producing” knowledge in collaboration with societal partners – the same people and groups that will apply research results to solving problems. The goal is to produce solutions for global sustainability with greater legitimacy and utility. TD researchers aim to engage local expertise in research – from the initial framing of research questions to designing and implemention. It involves the co-design of research questions and co-production of actionable scientific knowledge. Co-design and co-production give societal partners a stake in research, thereby lending results greater legitimacy. That means that those partners may be more likely to implement sustainability solutions. The Future Earth Secretariat has established a TD Task Team, which is being drawn from the Secretariat and Regional Centres, as well as Global Research Projects and TD experts, while a TD training curriculum is also being developed. We are pursuing a partnership to develop a portfolio of TD case studies that will support the training curriculum and give our community an opportunity to highlight their work. With other partners we are exploring the feasibility of creating a TD portal through which interested people and groups could access TD resources. Additional planned activities include design opportunities to advance active participation of Future Earth members in a TD platform that facilitates learning and zero-travel networking. Future Earth is collaborating with our strategic partner START, an international non-governmental organisation, to advance TD research skills in Africa through a training workshop at Stellenbosch University in late 2017. This workshop is backed by the US National Science Foundation in support of the Belmont Forum’s upcoming research action on urbanisation and the food-energy-water nexus. Future Earth and START will be collaborating on a TD curriculum development effort with African university networks in 2018. Caption: Fisherman with gear at Lake Malawi, Malawi.

AFRICA Future Earth participates in a range of initiatives in Africa and will soon gain an important partner in the region: The Southern Africa sub-regional office for Future Earth is projected to become operational in 2017. It will be located in Pretoria, South Africa, and will be hosted by the South Africa National Research Foundation and the South Africa Department of Science and Technology. In the last year, many of Future Earth’s Global Research Projects organised high-profile events in Africa. Earth System Governance (ESG), for example, held its 2016 conference at the University of Nairobi in Kenya in December. The event brought together leaders in research, policy and civil society from the region and around the world and included a field trip to visit the sites of sand dam building projects. Future Earth Coasts, the Surface Ocean-Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS) and Integrated Marine Biosphere Research (IMBeR), together with the Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre (OA-ICC), collaborated in organising “OA-Senegal” in Dakar in February 2017. This event brought together 20 participants from 18 coastal African countries to build capacity on the chemistry, biology, economics and social science of ocean acidification, and its linkages to policy. There are more activities underway: UNESCO is now leading an effort aimed at understanding how the vision of Future Earth can be implemented in East Africa. In 2017, Future Earth and its partner START will also kick off a series of projects in North and West Africa. These projects will build dialogues and promote capacity development among regional researchers and leaders around food, energy and water security challenges.

FUTURE EARTH AND THE GLOBAL SOUTH

Future Earth aims to promote a global network of researchers, innovators and businesses and the last year saw major progress in expanding Future Earth’s reach to regions in the world that most feel the impact of global environmental pressures.

MIDDLE EAST & NORTH AFRICA

was organised by Future Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Water-Energy-Food Nexus Knowledge-Action Network and the Innovation for Sustainable Development Network (inno4SD).

The Future Earth MENA Regional Centre, which is based in Nicosia, Cyprus, mobilises experts to tackle the critical sustainability challenges facing the region â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including securing water supplies in the face of mounting droughts and navigating drastic political and societal transformations. To achieve these goals, the Regional Centre signed a new collaboration with the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in 2016. The Bibliotheca Alexandrina, which is based in Alexandria, Egypt, will lead efforts to spur sustainability research in North African nations.

Also in 2016, the Regional Centre formed a Regional Advisory Committee made up of 11 members from nine countries. This committee met to set research priorities and opportunities for the region. They include strategies to manage water deficiency, secure food provision, seek opportunities for energy production and secure social stability and environmental sustainability in the light of rapid urbanisation and changing population dynamics.

Among other activities, the Regional Centre hosted a symposium in late-2016 about how sustainable innovation can help to develop solutions around the nexus of food, water and energy. This workshop

ASIA & OCEANIA The last year saw the launch of the South Asia Regional Office of Future Earth. This office is hosted by the Divecha Centre for Climate Change (DCCC) of the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru, India. The office engages counterparts across the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries and some Indian Ocean island countries. The office is preparing a strategic plan for South Asia that will be finalised by late2017 and will focus on important issues in the sub-region. They include the effects of climate change on monsoons and mountain glaciers. In early 2017, Â it was agreed that the International Project Office of Monsoon Asia Integrated Research for Sustainability â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Future Earth (MAIRS-FE) will be based in Peking University, Beijing, and its Regional Project Office in the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. This Global Research Project, which completed its transition to Future Earth in 2017, explores a range of issues related to the unique topography and monsoon climate of Asia.
