这个期刊的办刊宗旨：

Earth’s  Future will  emphasize the Earth as an interactive, evolving system under the influence  of the human enterprise and will reflect the risks and opportunities associated  with environmental changes and challenges. It will feature primary research  across disciplines and connect it to policy through the inclusion of  editorials, essays, reviews, and other commentary pieces. Contributors  will tackle solutions to such grand challenges as population increase,  industrial and agricultural development, urbanization, climate change, energy,  food and water resource sustainability and security.

Dr. Guy Brasseur has been appointed to lead the launch of Earth’s Future as its inaugural  Editor-in-Chief.  Brasseur is the  director of Germany’s Climate Service Center.   Previously, Dr. Brasseur was associate director of the National Center  for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado, and head of NCAR’s Earth  and Sun Systems Laboratory.

“Earth’s Future represents an important and innovative contribution  not only to transdiciplinary research, but also to the ability of the public  and policy makers to navigate and connect with our science, and to successfully  incorporate it into their decision making processes,” said AGU President Carol  Finn. “AGU is pleased to be able to partner with a global leader like Wiley to  provide this new platform for the exploration of global change and  sustainability. Launching Earth’s Future represents a key achievement in our mission to promote discovery in the Earth  and space sciences for the benefit of humanity.”

“We are extremely  excited to launch Earth's Future, an open access journal, with our  partner AGU that spans the scope of their disciplines," said Colette  Bean, Vice President and Associate Publishing Director in Wiley's Global  Research business. "This is truly a  unique publishing opportunity for emerging research within and beyond the  geophysical research community. Earth's Future will play  an important role in disseminating this critical research on a global  scale."
