The German Committee Future Earth (DKN) is an independent scientific advisory body of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) as well as a national contact point and platform for developments and activities within the international research programme for global sustainability Future Earth and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP).
The DKN fosters interdisciplinary, integrative sustainability research in a national and international context and thus promotes cooperation between the disciplines. The aim is to advance research activities that pave the way towards a globally sustainable development and society, tackle problems systemically and generate societally relevant knowledge. The DKN offers a platform for exchange and networking on sustainability research among the German scientific community and promotes its further development. The DFG appoints the members of the DKN for periods of three years.
We cordially invite you to submit contributions to the event "Advancing Sustainable Development: Sustainability Science Summit 2025", taking place from 19–21 February 2025 in Kassel, Germany. The summit continues the series of the German Future Earth Summits organised by the German Committee Future Earth. It offers a forum for national and international sustainability science, including but not limited to activities within Future Earth and the World Climate Research Programme.
We invite session proposals on fundamental approaches in sustainability science, on the structure of the science and research landscape, on the interface of science and policy-making and political practice, as well as on the role of international networks and cooperation.
