Science's greatest challenge; global sustainability (report)
A couple of years old (November 2010), but the cry to action contained in this report is still highly relevant to the global scientific community.
The International Council for Science proposes to mobilize the
international global change scientific community around an unprecedented
decade of research to support sustainable development in the context of
global change. The
pace and magnitude of human-induced global change is currently beyond
human control and is manifest in increasingly dangerous threats to human
societies and human well-being. There is an urgent need for the
international scientific community to develop the knowledge that can
inform and shape effective responses to these threats in ways that
foster global justice and facilitate progress toward sustainable
development goals.
