Earth System Governance – a global research alliance, is the largest social science research network in the area of governance and global environmental change. The Earth System Governance research alliance takes up the challenge of exploring political solutions and novel, more effective governance mechanisms to cope with the current transitions in the biogeochemical systems of the planet. Nowadays, about 300 scientists are constantly involved in the project, and more than 2,000 scientists from all over the world are involved at various stages.
