About the Alliance

Based on the strategic convergence of their priorities, several international partners have formed a global Alliance to establish this new Initiative. The Alliance comprises ICSU, the International Social Science Council (ISSC), the Belmont Forum of funding agencies, UNEP, UNESCO and UNU.

The founding partners of the Alliance were ICSU, ISSC and the Belmont Forum. The Alliance has now become a ground-breaking strategic partnership of the international research community, funders, operational service providers, and users of global environmental change science. It aims at establishing a joint strategy and work together on common priorities that create and use the knowledge that societies need to adapt and mitigate to hazardous global environmental change.

The Alliance will lever the capability generated over recent decades, embracing truly transdisciplinary goals that cannot be achieved by a single country, existing organisational structures or single field.

The Alliance aims at meeting these challenges through this ten-year Earth System Sustainability Initiative.
