new, inter- and trans-disciplinary approaches to research
on three themes: Dynamic Planet, Global Sustainable
Development and Transformations towards Sustainability. It
will also be a platform for international engagement to
ensure that knowledge is generated in partnership with
society and users of research. It is founded on the
principle of the co-creation and co-design of these
knowledge products. Future Earth is open to all
stakeholders of interest including researchers of all
disciplines of the natural and social sciences, as well as
engineering, health, law and civil society.</p>

perspectives, stakeholders and geographical locations. The
new Future Earth Secretariat is committed to inclusivity
and to fostering the creativity and innovation required to
address the challenges of global environmental change. In
this spirit it will provide coordination and enabling
services to Future Earth communities of researchers,
decision makers and practitioners. While distributed on 3
continents, the Secretariat will operate as a single
entity under the direction of an Executive Director. The
distributed governance infrastructure is placed in the
five hubs under the direction of five Global Hub
