IGBP International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme The Vision of IGBP is to provide scientific knowledge to improve the sustainability of the living Earth. Interactions of Earth’s biological, chemical, and physical processes and human systems Issues relevant to society Interdisciplinary and integration Earth System context IGBP Interactions and partnerships Cape Town, South Africa 380 participants 65 countries 65 National Committees The IGBP Network AIMES AfricanNESS /documents/AFRICANESS-REPORT.pdf Integrating Human and Natural History IHOPE: Integrated History and Future of People on Earth IHOPE Research Plan 2009 Plant Functional Types Fast-tract initiative Objectives Construction of a global database of plant functional traits Design of a new generation of global dynamic vegetation models Nitrogen fixation capacity Leaders: Sandra Lavorel (IGBP), Colin Prentice (AIMES), Sandra Díaz (GLP), and Paul Leadley (DIVERSITAS) Thank you * * IGBP Science addresses the interactions among BGC processes and human systems. Core projects focus on oceans, land, and atmosphere and the interfaces among those…such as land-ocean, land-atmos, ocean-atmos. When the new set of IGBP II projects were being designed, we explicitly asked them to frame them in the context of higher level of IGBP integration AND a broader Earth System Science approach, including the IHDP. * We have interactions and partnerships with many other programs. Opportunities not only for collaborations between IGBP and DIVERSITAS at the ESSP level, but also opportunities for direct collaboration between IGBP and DIVERSITAS. Sustainable livelihood in Changing Earth System …..lot of policy maker interactions…..IGBP is moving into an agenda in which we are enhancing our interaction with policy process to address sustainability issues.
