.
The first consultation (15 July – 1 September 2009) asked the question:
What is the most important research question in Earth system research that needs answering in the next decade? Why?
This part of the consultation is now closed.
The proposed research questions posted online formed the background for a workshop held in September involving senior researchers, early-career scientists, science-policy experts and funders. The workshop resulted in the draft document ‘Grand Challenges in Global Sustainability: A Systems Approach to Research Priorities for the Decade’ that went out to the global community through an online consultation (21 December 2009 – 21 February 2010).
