The following EU and NSF initiatives relate to the impact on computing on global challenges of sustainability, see also http://www.computational-sustainability.org/
FuturICT (http://www.futurict.eu/): integrating ICT, Complexity Science and the Social Sciences will create a paradigm shift, facilitating a symbiotic co-evolution of ICT and society. Data from our complex globe-spanning ICT system will be leveraged to develop models of techno-socio-economic systems. In turn, insights from these models will inform the development of a new generation of socially adaptive, self-organized ICT systems.
NSF Science, Engineering and Education for Sustainability NSF-Wide Investment (SEES) (http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504707): SEES activities span the entire range of scientific domains at NSF and aim to: 1) support interdisciplinary research and education that can facilitate the move towards global sustainability; 2) build linkages among existing projects and partners and add new participants in the sustainability research enterprise; and 3) develop a workforce trained in the interdisciplinary scholarship needed to understand and address the complex issues of sustainability.
