About the globally distributed Secretariat

The architecture of the globally distributed Secretariat is unique and currently encompasses five global hubs located in five different countries, connected through a dynamic, networked structure. This will include regional hubs and partners. The distributed model unites a diversity of perspectives, stakeholders and geographical locations. The new Future Earth Secretariat is committed to inclusivity and to fostering the creativity and innovation required to address the challenges of global environmental change. In this spirit it will provide coordination and enabling services to Future Earth communities of researchers, decision makers and practitioners. While distributed on 3 continents, the Secretariat will operate as a single entity under the direction of an Executive Director. The distributed governance infrastructure is placed in the five hubs under the direction of five Global Hub Directors.
