Kuala Lumpur Workshop
Future Earth Kuala Lumpur Regional Workshop
As Future Earth is at an early stage of development, ICSU, on behalf of a broad Science and Technology Alliance for Global Sustainability - which also includes ISSC, the Belmont Forum of global change research funding agencies, UNESCO, UNEP, UNU and WMO as observer – is seeking inputs from the regions to help shape the initiative, drive regional partnerships and engage a broad range of stakeholders. To this end, a set of regional workshops sponsored by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) was organised as a first step in what we hope to be a long and successful engagement with the regions in developing and delivering Future Earth. The workshop in Kuala Lumpur was the second of this initial set of regional consultations.
The workshop was held over 3 days with a number of interactive sessions in plenary and in breakout groups to discuss, challenge, regionalize and specify the initial design options on the global research framework for Future Earth and the governance structure that an international Transition Team of experts have been working on. The workshop will gather scientists working on global and regional environmental change across disciplines, development actors, educators and capacity builders, funders and individuals working at the boundary between science and policy.
