What is earth and space science (ESS) in the changing world?

ESS is for what?Why ESS is so important after the Corona pandemic.

ESS is not only for knowledge, but also for peace, for sustainable

development, and for inclusive and resilient society in the 21st century.

Then we need transform traditional values, evaluation systems and

relationship between ESS, society, people and politics, in parallel

with preserving scientific integrity and quality. COVID-19 has

been stimulating ways of thinking about directionality, culture and

education of ESS.
