Earth Targets Initiatives<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”paragraphText”]More businesses, cities, and governments want to work to develop local and global targets that help maintain Earth systems like land, water, and biodiversity. Future Earth is providing the much-needed scientific guidance behind the target-setting process, through two initiatives: Science for Earth Targets and the Earth Commission.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Science-based Pathways for Sustainability<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”paragraphText”]The collective journey toward sustainability is complex. Starting points are diverse and trajectories are multiple. The Science-based Pathways for Sustainability Initiative aims to be an inclusive and integrative response to the pressing need to produce knowledge and understanding in systemic interactions, competing development agendas, and transformations in concrete contexts.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Learn more” shape=”square” color=”lightgreenInitiatives” size=”lg” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Ffutureearth.org%2Finitiatives%2Fearth-targets-initiatives%2Fscience-based-pathways%2F” css=”.vc_custom_1744036883720{padding-top: 25px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1744037093380{background-image: url(https:\/\/futureearth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/PathwaysBridge.jpg?id=28766) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_empty_space height=”300px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1563387928299{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1553203849685{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: repeat !important;}” el_class=”container”][vc_column_inner el_class=”lessPaddingMobile” css=”.vc_custom_1551465901352{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-right: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;padding-left: 100px !important;background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The Earth Commission<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”paragraphText”]The Earth Commission assesses and synthesizes the latest science to define the boundaries for a safe and just planet. Convened by Future Earth in 2019, the Commission brings together an international team of natural and social scientists to identify critical planetary thresholds \u2013 to ensure there is clean air and water, biodiversity, and a stable climate in which all life can thrive.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Learn more” shape=”square” color=”lightgreenInitiatives” size=”lg” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Ffutureearth.org%2Finitiatives%2Fearth-targets-initiatives%2Fearth-commission%2F|title:Earth%20Commission” css=”.vc_custom_1744036343314{padding-top: 25px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1744036791592{background-image: url(https:\/\/futureearth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/AdobeStock_369781659-scaled.jpeg?id=34782) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_empty_space height=”300px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1563387932086{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1553203849685{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: repeat !important;}” el_class=”container”][vc_column_inner el_class=”lessPaddingMobile” css=”.vc_custom_1551465901352{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-right: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;padding-left: 100px !important;background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
