Committee and Partners
Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research
The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), is a leading research centre focused on understanding the impacts of climate change and developing strategies for sustainability. It combines natural and social sciences to analyse climate system dynamics, assess environmental, social, and economic risks, and propose pathways for a low-carbon future. PIK plays a significant role in global climate policy by collaborating with researchers and policymakers worldwide to inform decisions aimed at mitigating and adapting to climate change.
Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology
The Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology, focuses on studying the complex interactions between humans and the Earth’s systems throughout history. It integrates interdisciplinary research from fields such as archaeology, anthropology, climatology, and environmental science to understand how human activity has shaped and been shaped by the natural world. The institute aims to explore the Anthropocene era, a period marked by significant human impact on the planet, and to address global challenges such as climate change, sustainability, and human adaptation to environmental changes. Through cutting-edge research, the institute contributes to understanding the deep and ongoing relationship between human societies and Earth’s ecosystems.
Sunway Centre for Planetary Health
The Sunway Centre for Planetary Health (SCPH) at Sunway University is a Malaysia-based think-and-do tank, committed to research and advocacy that advance planetary health through three priority areas; healthy cities, health-centred decarbonisation, and driving an education revolution.
Global Systems Institute, University of Exeter
The Global Systems Institute (GSI) is a research institute based at the University of Exeter, focused on finding innovative solutions to global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and sustainability. The institute brings together scientists, economists, policymakers, and other experts to study the complex interactions within Earth’s systems, including ecological, social, and technological dimensions. By using an interdisciplinary approach, the GSI aims to develop transformative strategies that promote resilience and sustainability on a planetary scale. Its research addresses critical issues like energy transitions, food security, and the dynamics of the Earth’s climate system, contributing to global efforts for a sustainable future.
