Abstract
Human geoscience is deeply involved in global sustainability programmes, such as Future Earth, SDGs and ESD, as a discipline and as an academic community. This chapter discusses why and how human geoscience can contribute to these programmes, and argues that their mutual collaborations, as well as the enhancement of each, is the key for their success in achieving their common goal of the world sustainability, and that human geoscience can assist and promote such mutual collaborations as well as the progress of each programme.
