The Earth-Humanity Coalition supports the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development, which calls for wide mobilisation of organisations and individuals, with substantial coordination of contributions.
It is designed to maximise the chances for an effective and successful implementation of its goals. Its organisation will adapt, as its projects will develop. Currently, three bodies are in place.
General assembly
The General Assembly includes the representatives of the member organisations, involved in knowledge co-production for sustainability: international scientific unions, science academies, laboratories, universities, research institutes and organisations, funding agencies, local authorities, NGOs and all kind of associations and networks. Together, they are ensuring a wide representation of scientific communities and civil societies from the entire world.
Our members:
