Scientific Steering Committee
The Earth System Governance Project operates under the direction of a Scientific Steering Committee. The role of the Scientific Steering Committee is to guide the implementation of the Earth System Governance Science and Implementation Plan, and ensure the continuation and thriving of the Earth System Governance network.
Governance structure
The Earth System Governance Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) meets quarterly, preferably meeting jointly on location for a larger annual meeting. Members serve for a limited term, usually no more than 5 years. New members are appointed by the SSC through a unanimous decision. Appointments take into account academic standing and potential contribution to the project, as well as the overall balance in terms of disciplines, geographical backgrounds, gender, and professional seniority.
Co-chairs are elected internally by the SSC for a two-year term.
Current co-chairs
- Dr. Jonathan Pickering
- Dr. Cristina Inoue
