Earth - a complex system
““Knowledge is the common Knowledge is the common
wealth of humanity”*wealth of humanity”*
*Adama Samassekou, Convener of the UN World Summit on the Information Society
In the Earth and space sciences and elsewhere, ready and open access to the vast and growing collections of cross-disciplinary digital information is the key to understanding and responding to complex Earth system phenomena that influence human survival.
We have a shared responsibility to create and implement strategies to realise the full potential of digital information and services for present and future generations.

We have a shared responsibility to create and implement strategies to realize the full potential of digital information for present and future generations. In the 21st century and beyond, access to digital information and new technologies for information integration and knowledge discovery will influence the free and productive development of societies around the world.
In the geosciences, as elsewhere, providing ready and open access to the vast and growing collections of cross-disciplinary digital information is the key to understanding and responding to complex Earth system phenomena that influence human survival.
