Future Earth

Wildfire researchers from Future Earth's networks - led by SOLAS - have just released a white paper outlining the challenges that fire science needs to address. This is a major community effort arising from a brilliantly transdisciplinary and inclusive workshop last year, supported by #ESA through the ESA-Future Earth Joint Program fund, PAGES and BIOS. Huge congratulations to this enthusiastic young team for getting this together! This working group are working on some exciting major projects going forward (net carbon balance of fire, state of wildfires project) too: watch this space!

Climate change poses challenges at every level, from local to global. While youth express increased uncertainty about the rapid global change, they have emerged as great mobilizers for action - especially #Indigenous youth. Indigenous cultures and communities are guides for all humanity with direct relevance for our sustainable development across generations. The second Global Indigenous Youth Summit on Climate Change (#GIYSCC2024) will be held on 9 August 2024 for 24 hours across 3 time zones.

📣New report launch: A new report by the Future Earth community launched this month in Finland emphasizes the necessity of transdisciplinarity, a systems approach, and institutional transformation in research to tackle climate change and biodiversity loss. It identifies key research gaps and highlights that collaboration among researchers across disciplines is critical to create change. The report was commissioned by the European Commission, and is intended to inform the European Union’s Horizon Europe funding program. It’s based on inputs from over 120 scientific experts of the course of a year. We thank the researchers for their contributions and invaluable support from International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and Sustainability in the Digital Age & Future Earth Canada.

If you enjoyed your time at #SRISSD2024 in Helsinki and Espoo this week, we invite you to continue this journey with us. Next year’s Congress, #SRI2025, will be held in Chicago, Illinois from 16-20 June 2025 at the Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk. Building on the momentum of our previous Congresses in Australia, South Africa, Panama, and now Finland, we're excited to bring the SRI community together once again in the vibrant city of Chicago to mobilize sustainability solutions in the US and beyond.

At a time when conservation philanthropy is often focused on one-off outcomes and innovation, it is hard to find funders who will pay to build relationships - especially among the Indigenous people who are the custodians of most of the world’s biodiversity. Yet, one of the best ways of supporting Indigenous communities in their work as custodians for the planet is by building relationships that lead to peer-to-peer knowledge sharing. Not only is information better shared when it comes from people with common cultures and experiences, but doing so can help fill lost knowledge about traditional ways of knowing the environment. In April of this year (with funding from Future Earth and support from Academia Sinica, Taiwan and National Museum of Prehistory), Moonjelly Foundation and the Ocean Knowledge Action Network organized a meeting in Taitung, Taiwan that brought together Indigenous scientists from across the globe to the Indigenous Amis community of ‘Etolan to rebuild ancient relationships and foster new ones. The ‘Etolan community is creating the first Indigenous-led MPA on the island, but due to decades of colonization, they have lost much of their traditional ecological knowledge. Watch this video to hear directly from our Indigenous colleagues why opportunities like this are so fundamental to their work. Liam Kokaʻua Antony Vavia Teina Rongo Kōrero o te `Ōrau Inc.
