Future Earth develops the knowledge and tools that government, communities, and companies need to meet the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals. By understanding connections among environmental, social and economic systems, Future Earth works to facilitate research and innovation, build and mobilize networks and shape the narrative, turning knowledge into action.
Our 27 Global Research Networks explore interactions among humans and the planet’s land, air, water and biodiversity. We develop and partner on initiatives that experiment with technology, data, media, and new ideas.
Our networks link policy, business and civil leaders with researchers to address themes like health, urbanization, natural assets and more.
We help incorporate the latest science into global decision-making and engage in conversations on sustainability solutions. See our 10 New Insights in Climate Science and award-winning Anthropocene Magazine for more.
