Stakeholder engagement in Future Earth
Kari Raivio Chancellor
Member of Future Earth Engagement Commi;ee
Some guiding principles behind Future Earth
• Legacy of GEC research programs (WCRP, IGBP, IHDP, Diversitas, ESSP) • Shortcomings: natural science focus, lack of societal impact • Aims of FE: Provide the knowledge for transformaMons towards sustainability
• InternaMonal collaboraMon • Inter-‐ and transdisciplinary research • SoluMons-‐oriented research • Co-‐design, co-‐producMon, co-‐disseminaMon with societal partners (stakeholders)
Two problems: Who is (are) stakeholder(s) and at what level (village to globe)? What is engagement/co-‐design?
Co-‐design with societal partners
• WHO? • Policymakers, civil servants • Business • Civil society, NGO´s • CiMzens, media
• WHY? • To promote evidence-‐based decision-‐making • To exploit non-‐scienMfic knowledge (experienMal, tradiMonal) • To bring societal concerns to the scienMfic agenda
• HOW? • Develop useful assessment and monitoring tools • Set up faciliMes for gathering, processing and distribuMng data • Provide a forum for exchange of informaMon and agenda-‐seXng
Na4onal and regional actors more important than global structures!
How to engage potenMal stakeholders?
1. Set up a network of competence centers (”FE observatories”) • To funcMon as a forum for interacMon with stakeholders (workshops, conferences)
• To maintain databases of concurrent physical, environmental, social, economic and health informaMon in a user-‐friendly form and open access
• To foster co-‐design of soluMons-‐oriented research • To establish an FE brand and increase convening power (cf. WEF)
2. Set up a network of naMonal and regional observaMon staMons • To patch the very leaky global observaMon network • To provide the data required by UN and its bodies (WHO, UNICEF, WMO, SDGs)
• To build scienMfic capacity in developing countries Na4onal and regional commiAees are in a key posi4on to implement these goals!
