20 January - International Decade of Science for Sustainable Development

 


The UN General Assembly has adopted, by consensus, a resolution proclaiming the period 2024-2033 as the International Decade of Science for Sustainable Development. In this resolution, the UN body proclaims this decade “within existing structures and available resources, to represent a unique opportunity for humanity to use the critical role that sciences play in the pursuit of sustainable development in its three dimensions as one of the key means of implementation as well as in responding to the complex challenges of our time to ensure a safe and prosperous future for all”.

The text calls on the international community to raise awareness of the importance of all sciences for sustainable development, and to participate actively, in line with national priorities, in promoting a coordinated and concerted scientific approach providing decision-makers with the analysis and observation-based data needed to develop and effectively implement policies aimed at ensuring that no one is left behind.
