Future Earth is co-convening a number of sessions at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting 2015, which takes place in San Francisco from the 14th to 18th of December. 

These sessions are part of the events to celebrate the legacy of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP). We strongly encourage the Future Earth community to submit abstracts to the following sessions:

More bang for your buck: how does coordination add value to sustainability science?

This session assesses the value added by research coordination on sustainability topics and explores innovative approaches to enhancing collaboration, both globally and among disciplines. We invite contributions that share experiences and discuss ways forward.

Science and the sustainable development goals

This session invites contributions that explore how the goals can be effectively implemented by combining monitoring, evaluation and assessment. Contributions that focus on integrative science, the tensions between local and global priorities, and perspectives of developing nations are welcome.
