Programme on Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS) is a core project of Future Earth.[1] PECS is an international research network that aims to connect and integrate research on the stewardship of social–ecological systems, how these systems support human wellbeing.[2] PECS was established in 2011. It is hosted by Stellenbosch University, from 2011-2019 it was hosted by the Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University. Since the beginning of 2014 PECS has been part of Future Earth, the global sustainability research platform.[3] A number of research projects have been affiliated with PECS, and it has created a number of regional nodes and thematic projects to integrate social-ecological research. For example, one large active regional group is SAPECS,[4] which brings together social-ecological researchers in South Africa. It has also organised and hosted two open science conferences, the first in 2015 in South Africa,[5] and the second in 2017 in Mexico.[6]
