Grand Challenges for Earth System Science

To “deliver knowledge to enable sustainable

development, poverty eradication, and

environmental protection in the face of global

change”. International Council for Science Press Release, 11 Nov 2010

“a consensus list of the highest priorities for

Earth system research”. Dr Walt Reid, Task Team Chair

Forecasting—Improve the usefulness of

forecasts of future environmental conditions

and their consequences for people.

Observing—Develop, enhance and integrate

the observation systems needed to manage

global and regional environmental change.

International Council for Science Press Release, 11 Nov 2010





Confining—Determine how to anticipate,

recognize, avoid and manage disruptive global

environmental change.

Responding—Determine what institutional,

economic and behavioural changes can enable

effective steps toward global sustainability.






Innovating—Encourage innovation (coupled

with sound mechanisms for evaluation) in

developing technological, policy and social

responses to achieve global sustainability.






Addressing these challenges will require new

research capacity, … , and a balanced mix of

disciplinary and interdisciplinary research. Dr Walt Reid, Task Team Chair


The importance of understanding the world and all

the events and activities within it as a set of

interconnected, interacting processes is now

widely recognised.

Roger Moore, Former Chair, OpenMI Association
