KEY ROLES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT DISCIPLINES

(1) Understanding Mechanisms: climate, biodiversity, economic

dynamics

(2) Monitoring and mapping Earth system states

(3) Developing integrated physical‐human systems for the “green

economy”

(4) Assisting directed technological change e.g. “deep

decarbonization,” ICT‐based health and education, sustainable

agriculture, smart cities

(5) Leading public and university education, and building a shared
