Cover for Current Issue
– Earth’s Future
“A transdisciplinary, open-access science journal, Earth’s Future examines the state of the planet and its inhabitants, sustainable and resilient societies, and the predictions of our common future. The journal assesses the challenges and opportunities of an era where humans dominate Earth’s environment, resources, and ecosystems. It publishes peer-reviewed articles, reviews, and commentaries in areas that include water, air, food, energy, hazards, climate and weather, ecosystems, human well-being and demographics, among others. Contributions focus on Earth as an interconnected, evolving system to inform researchers, policy makers, and the public on the science of the Anthropocene.”
– Stockholm Resilience Centre (www.stockholmresilience.org)
Description of organization from Wikipedia, extract: “Stockholm Resilience Centre (SRC) is a research centre at Stockholm University focused on resilience, sustainability science and social-ecological systems[1]. Founded in 2007, it is a collaboration between Stockholm University and the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. The centre has a particular focus on social-ecological resilience, where humans and nature are studied as an integrated whole”

– Climate Action Network (https://climatenetwork.org)
“Climate Action Network (CAN) is the world’s largest climate network made up of more than 2500 civil society organisations in over 130 countries, together fighting the climate crisis.” Canadian Chapter at https://climateactionnetwork.ca/
– Canadian Climate Institute (www.climateinstitute.ca)
“The Canadian Climate Institute is Canada’s foremost climate change policy research organization…Our work is grounded in the best available research and evidence, and informed by a prominent group of experts from across Canada. At the heart of our approach is accessible data, economic modelling and expert analysis across five priorities:
– CLEAN GROWTH: Identifying policies and strategies to unlock low-carbon growth and economic competitiveness.
– MITIGATION: Advancing cost-effective pathways to reduce emissions and accelerate Canada’s clean energy transition.
– ADAPTATION: Making our economy,infrastructure, and communities more resilient to a warming climate.
– INDIGENOUS RESEARCH: Centring and uplifting Indigenous-led climate policy solutions that advance reconciliation and self-determination.
– SUSTAINABLE FINANCE: Accelerating private-sector investments to reduce risks from climate impacts, maximize clean growth
– CO2.Earth (https://www.co2.earth)
“CO2.Earth makes it easy for you and other people around the world to track key planetary changes as they happen. Visit CO2.Earth at your convenience to get the latest readings for atmospheric CO2, global temperature, global emissions, and pH in seawater. SITE LAUNCH November 13, 2015 PRODUCER Mike McGee HEADQUARTERS Vancouver Island, Canada”
– E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation/The Half Earth Project
“In order to safeguard a sufficient number of species to protect global biodiversity, including humanity, the late American biologist, E.O. Wilson and a new generation of scientists, ecologists, and conservationists concluded that we must set aside roughly half of Earth’s land and seas for nature, known as the principle of “Half-Earth.”
– World resources Institute (www.wri.org)
“WRI is focused on transforming the human systems that profoundly impact people, nature and the climate. This includes how we manage food, land and water; produce and use energy; and design and manage cities. To enable change at the pace and scale needed, we also work to shift the economic, finance and governance structures that shape people’s decisions and behaviors. We zero in on the countries and solutions most important for driving this global transition. WRI works with a diverse range of stakeholders to develop pathways toward equitable, low-carbon, and resilient economies that are tailored to local contexts. And we measure our success not by internal benchmarks, but by visible progress in the world.” WRI publishes investigative research reports, e.g. Seymour, F., M. Wolosin, and E. Gray. 2022. “Not Just Carbon: Capturing All the Benefits of Forests for Stabilizing the Climate from Local to Global Scales.” Report. Washington, DC: World Resources Institute.
