Conference Organizers:

International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) provides essential international scientific leadership and knowledge of the Earth system to help guide society onto a sustainable pathway during rapid global change.

By linking biology, ecology and social sciences, DIVERSITAS produces socially relevant new knowledge to support sustainable use of biodiversity.

International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP) provides international leadership in framing, developing and integrating social science research on global environmental change, and promotes key findings of this research to help address these changes.

World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) improves climate predictions and our understanding of human influence on climate through observations and modeling of the Earth system and the policy-relevant assessment of climate conditions.

Earth System Science Partnership (ESSP) is a partnership of the four international global-change programmes. It is an integrated study of the Earth System, the ways that it is changing, and the implications for global and regional sustainability.
