Executive summary

OUR OPPORTUNITY

In 2015, the world agreed to address the most complex and

urgent challenges facing humanity through the United

Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) over an

ambitious 15 year horizon . The challenges are complex but

communities across the globe, including in Australia and our

region, are capable of connected research approaches that

find and deliver solutions .

OUR ORGANISATION

Future Earth is the global research initiative that engages with

research institutions, businesses, governments and wider

communities to generate enduring solutions to sustainability

challenges . It brings together expertise from across disciplines

and broader society to ensure solutions have impact within

their specific context and contribute more broadly to the

mosaic of global sustainability .

Future Earth Australia (FEA) applies this model within Australia

and to the immediate Oceania region . It connects Australian

institutions into collaborative programs to find solutions at

local, national and regional scales . It also connects these

institutions into the global sustainability effort, promoting

Australia’s research capacity to the world so that its

contribution is integrated into international collaborations

to achieve the SDGs .

OUR PURPOSE

We aim to:

• bring together and assist members to capture the

opportunities provided by international collaborative

programs, particularly those tied to the SDGs

• showcase Australian members’ research capacity

internationally to the largest global network of

sustainability research institutions

• enhance the capacity and reputation of members’ current

and next generation researchers through international

research participation, professional development,

internships and industry placements .

OUR MECHANISMS OF SUPPORT

We support our members through:

• collaborative research programs

• national and international network facilitation

• our events and other network forums

• professional development for next generation researchers

and leaders .

OUR PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

We will measure our success by:

• at least four collaborative research programs are

operational by 2022, advancing solutions to SDGs and

delivering to member expectations

• evidence that FEA has increased its member participation

in national and international sustainability initiatives of

world-class standard

• evidence that FEA initiatives are effectively bringing

researchers and stakeholders together to advance adoption

of SDG solutions

• FEA is seen as an authoritative source of knowledge making

tangible advances towards the achievement of SDGs .

OUR COMMITMENT TO QUALITY

Through engagement with all of Australia’s learned

academies, we are committed to the highest rigour

associated with our activities . Underpinning these are strong

forms of governance and accountability, monitoring and

evaluation, and risk management .

Plan for the Planet: A collaborative initiative inspired by Future Earth Australia

The Young Australians’ Plan for the Planet Program is a joint initiative of Questacon,

Inspiring Australia, Future Earth Australia, Foundation for Young Australians, United

Nations Information Centre (UNIC) Canberra, Australian National University (ANU),

University of New South Wales (UNSW), University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) and

other supporting organisations to promote sustainable development in Australia

and globally .

The pilot program has been established in Australia to promote the achievement of

the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and prepare a sustainable

development plan for Australia to 2050 . It has involved 20 schools across Australia

by leveraging the business planning and management principles and practices

previously developed in the Plan for the Planet (Gower, 2012) .

The program operated as an extracurricular project in each school supported by

regional universities from November 2016 to August 2017 .

The first Young Australians’ Plan for the Planet—comprising a sustainable

development plan for Australia to 2050—was presented to the Minister for Industry,

Innovation and Science during National Science Week in August 2017 .

The program framework has been developed to be scalable and for potential

expansion internationally based on the successful outcomes of the pilot program .

The opportunity

THE REASON TO CONNECT

Rapid population growth and the impact of industrial

development has severely compromised the sustainability

of the planet’s biophysical life support systems .

All countries share the impact of global phenomena such as

climate change, while individually, countries experience local

impacts of a range of additional sustainability challenges such

as land and water degradation, biodiversity loss and declining

quality of life .

In both cases, no country is alone . Very rarely are forms of

sustainability impact unique . Their causes usually share

common phenomena; and their solutions, even if adapted

locally, usually share common features .

Fully understanding causal phenomena and developing

effective solutions demand approaches to research that take

into account physical, biological, human, institutional,

economic and other factors . These factors are most effectively

considered through mechanisms that allow different forms

of knowledge to be shared, with the implications of one for

another appreciated, and taken into account in developing

and delivering solutions .

AUSTRALIAN OPPORTUNITIES

In Australia, integrated approaches to address issues of

sustainability are becoming common . Integrated catchment

management is an example, and many research institutions

have come together to provide natural resource management

solutions customised to local needs .

Elsewhere, however, integrated and collaborative approaches

are less prominent, such as within the urban built environment,

our marine environment and energy transformation . More

broadly the digital economy, and the potential emerging

technologies hold for supporting sustainability, is primed for

greater cooperation .

INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

The need for connectivity is recognised internationally, most

notably in the United Nations’ call for global collaboration in

addressing its 17 Sustainable Development Goals . This approach

is also promoted by the Future Earth initiative as it rallies

research partnerships of critical mass to address these goals .

Australia must move towards embedding its research capacity

into global research initiatives . It needs to become a part of

the international innovation community . And it needs to

mobilise its comparative advantages in research towards

addressing the SDGs .

Nationally and internationally, connecting for sustainability

still has some way to go, which is where Future Earth Australia

has an important role to play .

Future Earth and Future Earth Australia will play a vital role in the understanding and implementation of SDGs.

Financial model and budget 2018–2022

Future Earth Australia generates its operating and activity

budget through membership fees, grants and activity

funding, sponsorships and tax deductible donations, and

event registrations . Initial funds establishing the organisation

were provided by the Australian Academy of Science, CSIRO,

Australian National University, University of Queensland,

University of Sydney and Macquarie University .

By 2020–21, Future Earth Australia aims to be operating at full

scale with an anticipated 20+ members and an annual

budget of approximately $1 000 000 pa .

During the start-up phase, target budgets of $500 000

(2017–18) and $750 000 (2018–19) will be derived from a

staged increase in membership and grant funding .

This budget, detailed in Future Earth Australia’s Business and

Operational Plan, will cover:

%

Salaries (2FTE in 2017–18; 4FTE by 2020–21) 45*

Operating costs 10

Facilitated research/activities (primarily grant funded) 15

Events and workshops 15

EMCR opportunities (awards, exchanges, internships) 10

Communications and outreach 5

*percentage approximate

The Future Earth Australia budget reflects the streamlined and

service-provider nature of the organisation . All salaries are

directed towards positions that are member focused, with

delivery of services the primary role . Future Earth Australia

does not itself undertake research, but directs a small research

budget towards bringing ideas, expertise and stakeholders

together to stimulate new national and international

collaborations . Similarly, our events and workshop budget are

targeted to maximising networking opportunities for

members . Support for early- and mid-career researchers will

always be an important of our activities, with the budget

allocated acting as seed investment for industry co-investors

to build on .

Additional events and activities will be supported subject to

sponsorship negotiation .
