Future Earth, a global initiative bringing together scientists across different disciplines, has launched its strategy to identify key priorities for sustainability. The eight objectives are:
- Deliver water, energy and food for all
- Decarbonise socio-economic systems
- Safeguard the terrestrial, freshwater and marine natural assets
- Building healthy, resilient and productive cities
- Promote sustainable rural futures
- Improve human health
- Encourage sustainable consumption and production patterns
- Increase social resilience to future threats
It is an attempt to help coordinate policy with science. It has taken over 30 years since the Bruntland Commission release the report Our Common Future.
We need to move much more quickly at the personal level if we’re to avoid growing serious problems.
