Regional Workshop for Future Earth in Asia and the Pacific
ICSU held at the end of 2012 a consultation with the scientific community in the Asia-Pacific region on the new programme called Future Earth – research for global sustainability it launched at the Rio+ 20 event in Rio de Janeiro in June 2012. The Asia Pacific region is seen to have the capacity to drive the transition towards global sustainability under the Future Earth programme. Its scientific community is ready to make the changes needed to support integrated research that would build the knowledge and solutions for the transition to sustainability. Through Future Earth, the region can develop new ways to engage with developed and less developed countries and help to ensure development which is socially inclusive and environmentally sound.
