The International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) is an interdisciplinary scientific activity established and sponsored by the International Council for Science (ICSU). The Programme was instituted by ICSU in 1986, and the IGBP Secretariat was established at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1987. ... The programme is focused on acquiring basic scientific knowledge about the interactive processes of biology and chemistry of the Earth as they relate to Global Change. The goal of the programme is: To describe and understand the interactive physical, chemical and biological processes that regulate the total Earth system, the unique environment that it provides for life, the changes that are occurring in this system, and the manner in which they are influenced by human actions. 3, record 3, English, - International%20Geosphere%2DBiosphere%20Programme

Le Programme International Géosphère Biosphère(IGBP) est une activité scientifique interdisciplinaire fondée et patronnée par le Conseil International des Unions Scientifiques(ICSU). Le Programme fut créé par l'ICSU en 1986, et le Secrétariat fut établi à l'Académie royale des Sciences de la Suède en 1987. [...] Le programme s’intéresse directement à l'acquisition du savoir scientifique de base géosphère-biosphère ayant trait aux processus interactifs de la biologie et de la chimie du système, ainsi qu'aux rapports de ces processus avec le changement global. Il se donne pour but : De décrire et comprendre les interactions physiques, chimiques et biologiques qui règlent le système géosphère-biosphère dans son intégralité, le milieu unique qu'il offre pour la vie, les transformations qui s’y opèrent, et la façon dont ces interactions sont affectées par les activités humaines. 1, record 3, French, - Programme%20International%20G%C3%A9osph%C3%A8re%20Biosph%C3%A8re
