The National Committee for Global Change Research brings the global change initiative, Future Earth, to Finland. The National Committee is working to establish a national network of scientists to stimulate engagement between researchers and end-users of science to codesign solutions for sustainable development.
Future Earth Suomi (FES; Future Earth Finland) aims to tackle questions on global change and sustainable development from an integrated, interdisciplinary perspective and to ensure that research is planned and produced in a close partnership with the society and end-users of science. These objectives are reflected in the Steering Group of the National Committee, which consists of high-level scientists across different disciplines and end-users of science from the most central stakeholder groups. The secretariat of the National Committee is located at the University of Helsinki.
The Future Earth Finland (FES) National Committee for Global Change Research brings theglobal change initiative, Future Earth, to Finland. The National Committee is working to establish a national network of scientists to stimulate engagement between researchers and end-users of science to codesign solutions for sustainable development. Future Earth (futureearth.org/networks/global-research-networks) supports the activities with over 20 different global research networks (Global Research Networks, GNR) across various fields, covering a global network of approximately 50,000 researchers. Individual networks can serve as a significant pathway to internationalization for Finnish researchers. Main focus areas are climate change, biodiversity, circular economy and sustainable development.
Future Earth Suomi / Future Earth Finland is part of the Future Earth global network.
