Helped to shape the Global Sustainability ( SDGs), climate and Biodiversity Agenda and delivered Integrated scientific messages delivered to global leaders
Supported the formation of the Intergovernmental Assessment Mechanism ( IPCC and IPBES) and provide necessary scientific tools and expertise
Developed Research Agenda for Funding agencies, Countries, and EU in defining research priorities

Future Earth’s strength lies in the work of the community, which comprises 27 Global Research Networks, National and Regional Networks (National Committees and Structures, Regional Committees and Offices), and the Early Career Network.
These networks represent academics, policymakers, independent scholars, and students, all working across sectors and
disciplines.
