The Earth-Humanity Coalition and the Role of Physicists

The Earth-Humanity Coalition (EHC) emerged in April 2024 from processes around the International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development. The EHC seeks to contribute to the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (IDSSD) by reimagining knowledge generation processes. The EHC seeks to foster the weaving in of all knowledge, transcending boundaries of disciplines, academia, geographies and cultures, in order to work for equitable human well-being and planetary health, and co-design mechanisms and structures that can enable the same. What has happened so far, the outlook, and the possible role of physicists will be discussed.
