Abstract
Faced with growing stakeholder attention to climate change-related societal impacts, Environmental Research Infrastructures (ERIs) find it difficult to engage beyond their initial user base, which calls for an overarching governance scheme and transnational synergies. Forced by the enormity of tackling climate change, ERIs are indeed broaching collaborative venues, based on the assumption that no given institution can carry out this agenda alone. While strategic, this requires that ERIs address the complexities and barriers towards aligning multiple organizations, national resources and programmatic cultures, including science.
Highlights
There is a societal and scientific imperative in understanding how anthropogenic change affects ecosystems, the economies they sustain and the services they provide
While Environmental Research Infrastructures (ERIs) fulfill a global demand for scientific data products, their vision can only be realized through the political will of funding agencies and ministries
They are essential in addressing the corresponding societal challenges, ERIs remain a largely untapped scientific resource worldwide [4,5], in part because the management of the data, data products and services they provide lacks the coordination among stakeholder groups, i.e., specific data and products for specific stakeholders
Summary
There is a societal and scientific imperative in understanding how anthropogenic change affects ecosystems, the economies they sustain and the services they provide. While ERIs fulfill a global demand for scientific data products, their vision can only be realized through the political will of funding agencies and ministries In doing so, they are essential in addressing the corresponding societal challenges, ERIs remain a largely untapped scientific resource worldwide [4,5], in part because the management of the data, data products and services they provide lacks the coordination among stakeholder groups, i.e., specific data and products for specific stakeholders. They are essential in addressing the corresponding societal challenges, ERIs remain a largely untapped scientific resource worldwide [4,5], in part because the management of the data, data products and services they provide lacks the coordination among stakeholder groups, i.e., specific data and products for specific stakeholders On one hand, this creates inefficiencies in data collection, funding and management.
