The document discusses responses to questions about enabling holistic science for a sustainable future. It includes sticky notes from a session on renewing hope in a shared future for the planet through mapping Western science with indigenous knowledge systems. The notes respond to questions about what science should provide for planetary thriving, what is needed to enable full potential in work, and supports for a holistic future science. Suggestions include understanding disease mechanisms, funding new techniques and global engagement, connecting different branches, supporting demonstration pilot plants, and awareness of interdependence.
