The International Council for Science (ICSU) and its partners are inviting organizations and individuals for their input via an online consultation beginning 21 December 2009. Grand Challenges in Sustainability Research is a global initiative centred on five grand challenges that must be addressed over the next decade if society is to manage the global environmental change that is now underway and cope with the change that we cannot manage.
The proposed initiative is a result of the first step of the Earth system visioning process, which began with an online consultation that yielded more than 300 research priorities and contributions from more than 1000 people from 85 countries. The next step in this consultative process is now at a crucial stage and, once again, we seek the opinions of the global community.
We would like your reflections on the proposed Grand Challenges and on what international research coordination is needed to get the job done.
