The multifaceted nature and urgency of the climate crisis require interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches to transform education — and consequently stimulate cultural shifts — toward more sustainable global futures. This challenge cannot be solved through research solely focused on technical solutions, but requires a critical interrogation of underlying assumptions about knowledge, education, and social change. The Global Futures Oriented Research Collective on Education for Sustainability (G-FORCES) aims to bring together international sustainability-oriented research networks from the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities to rearticulate the role of education for planetary sustainability in formal and non-formal lifelong learning settings. G-FORCES aims not merely to improve, but to fundamentally reshape the relationship between education and sustainability research across global networks in ways that effectively integrate different knowledge ecosystems, bridge the research-practice divide, and prioritize education for planetary wellbeing and ecological justice. G-FORCES is a dynamic, multi-team collaboration across representatives from 10 diverse, globally leading research networks that share a common commitment to mobilize the power of education for planetary sustainability. Leveraging design approaches that enable structured but robust collaboration across networks, G-FORCES establishes a shared vision and strategic operational links across established research communities to engage in transdisciplinary convergence research that advances a comprehensive vision of sustainability education and climate literacy – encompassing scientific, energy, media, and ecological literacy – under a unified framework. Furthermore, it aims to maximize the impact of research on education policy and practice, create enduring local-to-global networks of scholarship and action, and address institutional barriers and structural limitations that presently limit integrated interdisciplinary climate research by creating new opportunities for inclusive research leadership for early-career scholars and from historically marginalized populations, particularly from the global South. Starting with a mapping exercise to identify gaps, connections, and synergies between networks, project activities will include annual research assemblies to set agendas for potential convergence research; a series of virtual co-design workshops to develop operational mechanisms for collaboration; and ongoing knowledge mobilization activities to engage relevant stakeholders to promote the transformation of educational systems for planetary sustainability. In addition to generating innovative research synergies and creating new spaces for sharing knowledge across different research networks, G-FORCES enhances connectivity among the world's leading scholars and education practitioners in enacting change.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

气候危机的多面性和紧迫性需要跨学科和协作的方法来转变教育，从而促进文化转变，以实现更可持续的全球未来。这一挑战不能通过仅关注技术解决方案的研究来解决，而是需要对潜在的问题进行批判性的审视。全球面向未来的可持续发展教育研究集体（G-FORCES）旨在汇集来自自然科学、社会科学和人文学科的国际可持续发展研究网络，以重新阐明关于知识、教育和社会变革的假设。教育在正式和非正式终身学习环境中对地球可持续发展的作用 G-FORCES 旨在通过有效整合不同知识生态系统、弥合全球网络的方式，从根本上重塑教育与可持续发展研究之间的关系。 G-FORCES 是一个充满活力的多团队合作项目，由来自 10 个不同的全球领先研究网络的代表共同致力于调动教育的力量以实现地球的可持续发展。利用设计G-FORCES 采用能够实现结构化但强有力的跨网络协作的方法，在已建立的研究团体之间建立了共同愿景和战略运营联系，以从事跨学科融合研究，推进可持续发展教育和气候素养的全面愿景——涵盖科学、能源、媒体、此外，它的目标是在统一的框架下最大限度地发挥研究对教育政策和实践的影响，创建持久的地方到全球的学术和行动网络，并解决目前限制综合跨学科的制度障碍和结构性限制。气候研究通过创造新的机会为早期职业学者和历史悠久的人群（特别是来自全球南方的学者）提供包容性的研究领导力，项目活动将从确定网络之间的差距、联系和协同作用的绘图工作开始，包括年度研究集会，为潜在的融合研究制定议程。一系列虚拟共同设计研讨会，以开发合作的运作机制；以及持续的知识动员活动，以吸引相关利益相关者促进教育系统的转型，以实现全球可持续发展，此外还可以产生创新的研究协同效应并创造新的知识共享空间。通过不同的研究网络，G-FORCES 增强了世界领先学者和教育专业人士在制定变革方面的联系。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
