A ROADMAP FOR A PLANETARY
NERVOUS SYSTEM
How can AI advance planetary stewardship?
This report presents a synthesis and expansion of the outcomes of the Earth Systems Predictability (ESP) Forum, a three-day interdisciplinary workshop held online in May 2023 in partnership with the ESA Phi-Lab, the University of Oxford and Trillium Technologies.
This effort is directly motivated by the Space for Net Zero report by the World Economic Forum, which called for a ‘distributed operations centre to help manage our spaceship Earth’ for the good of all humankind.
In response, the ESP Forum brought together over 150 experts in Earth science, computer modelling, machine learning (ML) and decision intelligence (DI) to accelerate our understanding of how artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies can help us make better decisions for our planet.
In this report, we present the combined vision of leading experts to define ESP and how it can be deployed.

the ESP Forum as a PDF report here.
What's next?
The ESP report is a roadmap for building the tools humanity needs to ensure the long-term habitability of our Earth. Each section contains not just ideas and frameworks, but real-world actions for stakeholders to implement a common vision of ‘good enough decisions’.
Read the roadmap and key figures below, and dive into the report for detail, nuance and further resources.
ESP is a planetary-scale vision and we are building a community to make it reality.
