Transcript Towards funding strategy for Future Earth

Proposed funding strategy
for Future Earth
Draft
Funding fragmentation by type
Type A - Glue money for networking/programming (order M€)
– GEC programs (4 secretariats)
– GEC projects (circa 30 IPOs)
Type B - International research consortium (order 10M€)
– Sustain research teams cross boundaries
Type C - National emergent programs (order 100M€)
– Capacity to develop new proactive programs, including
interdisciplinary
Type D - Blue/grey sky research (order 1000M€)
– Capacity to sustain disciplinary research
– Large potential on long term from new scientists generation
Funding fragmentation by agencies
• Belmont Forum is just a visible part of the iceberg
– BF agencies control only 5-20 % of GEC research in their countries
– Involve only G7+BRICS
• Many funders in cooperation/competition
– Within nation: Ministries, national agencies, state/region
agencies, local universities…
– Between nations: Regional agencies, regional and world funds
Funding Challenges
• How insure a coherent evolution of funding
towards FE ?
• Need to have a plan not only for type A but also
type B & C, and on long term on type D !
• Need to implement cross various nations, and
inside nations cross various funding players
>>> It urges for a “funding strategy” that could be
used by key funders and scientists to propagate FE
concepts and needs
IGFA/Belmont Forum tools
• IGFA long-term support for type A
– Need to secure money towards FE… and extend
• BF competitive CRA calls
– Impulse one shot innovative approaches
– Feed type B … and finally type A for biggest budget
• IGFA/BF member’s national programming
– Co-alignement [partial] to feed type C
– Capacity building to engage all, in particular for type D
• IGFA/BF member’s international initiative
– ISSC/SIDA+
– DFG/ICSU/ISSC
– Others to come
BF Collaborative Research Actions
• Implement key issues related to Future Earth, see Belmont Challenge
• IOF : a flexible tool, open to any funder, all common but the money
• First call in 2012 (-> Maria Uhle, NSF)
– Freshwater Security (NSF lead), Coastal Vulnerability (NERC, lead), w. G8HORCs
– 20+M€, 1000+partners from 50 countries under selection for 2013-2016 funds
• Selected 2013 themes under scoping

Food security and Land Use Change (FAPESP lead), with JPI FACCE
Arctic, NSERC lead
e-infrastructure, NSF lead
call to be opened April 2013, for 2014-2018 funds
• Others potential themes… waiting Future Earth inputs !

Biodiversity & Ecosystem Services (for IPBES) ?
Climate services, with WMO ? JPI Climate ?
Green Growth, Disaster Risks, with WB ?
Africa, with AID agencies ?

Consolidate and extend the IGFA membership (G20+)
Upgrade on Alliance and Future Earth
News from GEC and regional activities
Perspectives on Social Transformations, Climate Services
Perspectives on Development (Krusenberg II, Africa)
Extension of BF CRA to IGFA members and beyond (support type
A & B), including support to south countries
• Diffusion towards IGFA national programs (support type C & D)
• Evolution of support to Secretariats and IPO’s (support type A)
Proposed funding strategy
• Adopt a common vision and guidelines for funding
transition to Future Earth, including type A to D
• Provide a common “documents package” to help IGFA/BF
members back to their country
• Participate to regional consultation workshops
• Set-up a suite of “National Funders Meetings for FE”
within each G20+ country
– Targeting ministries, others research agencies, organizations,
and foundations, development funders, key regional actors…
– Organized by IGFA/BF member with support of key GEC actors
to map the various national existing funding
– Deployed end 2012/early 2013 to allow significant impulse
since 2014 FY
