Sustainable development is probably the most daunting challenge that
humanity has ever faced, and achieving it requires that fundamental issues
be addressed immediately at local, regional and global levels. At all
scales, scientific knowledge can help provide guidance to resolve the
economic, social and environmental problems that may make current development
paths unsustainable. ICSU is committed to creating and using scientific
knowledge to improve the well-being of people everywhere while maintaining
the life support systems of the planet.
