This award supports the initial development of the US hub of Future Earth Secretariat. Future Earth seeks to harness the insights and capacity of the global scientific community, development professions, and stakeholders to address global scale problems. The Future Earth effort is based on the recognition that modern environmental problems cannot be solved by disciplinary science alone and rather requires the coordinated efforts of many disciplines working with stakeholders to meet today's societal challenges and to catalyze a transition to global sustainability. Future Earth seeks to advance a new way of doing science by directly emphasizing the co-design and co-production of knowledge with those who most need scientific information to make effective decisions to help manage a changing environment. First and foremost the Future Earth Secretariat will serve the needs of stakeholders and scientists around the world. The Future Earth program is organized around three major themes: Dynamic Planet; Global Development; and Transformations toward Sustainability. Under the auspices of these three themes, the Secretariat will support workshops and other efforts to foster the co-design of research to enhance transdisciplinary efforts to inform solutions and decision making. The secretariat will also develop programs and initiatives to educate the next generation of inter-disciplinary professionals on how to integrate global sustainability with human prosperity and will actively engage the public through an extensive communication and outreach effort.

该奖项支持未来地球秘书处美国中心的初步发展。未来地球旨在利用全球科学界、发展专业人士和利益相关者的洞察力和能力来解决全球规模的问题。“未来地球”计划是基于这样一种认识，即现代环境问题不能仅靠学科科学来解决，而是需要许多学科与利益相关者合作，共同努力，以应对当今的社会挑战，并促进向全球可持续发展的过渡。“未来地球”旨在通过直接强调与那些最需要科学信息的人共同设计和共同生产知识，以帮助管理不断变化的环境，从而推进一种新的科学研究方式。首先，未来地球秘书处将满足世界各地利益攸关方和科学家的需求。未来地球计划围绕三大主题展开：动态星球；全球发展;以及向可持续发展的转变。在这三个主题的主持下，秘书处将支持讲习班和其他努力，以促进共同设计研究，加强跨学科努力，为解决方案和决策提供信息。秘书处还将制定计划和倡议，教育下一代跨学科专业人员如何将全球可持续发展与人类繁荣结合起来，并将通过广泛的沟通和外展努力积极吸引公众参与。
