Future Earth Strategic Research Agenda 2014

Future Earth is a global research platform designed to provide the knowledge needed to support transformations towards sustainability.

This document identifies critical priorities for global change and sustainability research over the next 3–5 years. These priorities are the outcome of extensive discussion with scientists and societal partners globally, and are intended to provide guidance for solutions-oriented research to meet the global societal challenges identified in the Future Earth 2025 Vision.

The aims of the Strategic Research Agenda 2014 are to present a framework for global change and sustainability agenda setting for researchers and funders, and to identify key priorities for the next 3–5 years which can be used as starting points for the development of research strategies and funding programmes.

The Strategic Research Agenda 2014 is intended to be used across different domains, disciplines and regions of the world, by a range of different agencies and stakeholders, to inform priority-setting for research and research funding.
