Description

A Geoscope is a global monitoring system which guides emerging "global actors" in their decisions for managing transitions to sustainability. It combines research activities in Earth system observation, data management and integrated modelling with communication activities like dialogues with relevant stakeholders and the development of useful indicators. Based on a wide range of existing efforts in various disciplines, the goal of a Geoscope is to support sustainability research as well as the public debate on sustainable development with an empirical base which is more targeted and better structured than what is currently available.
