What We Do
The Regional Centre for Future Earth in Asia actively advocates for the Future Earth initiative, through networking with regional actors and providing a platform to enhance interactions among research and other communities in the region and between regional and global levels.
The Centre also offers a platform to connect the region with global Future Earth activities. It helps the Regional Committee for Asia to articulate the priorities for the region.
