An International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development
Abstract
On Friday, 25 August 2023, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 2024-2033 as the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development.
On Friday 25 August 2023, during its 96th Plenary meeting of its 77th session, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development. co-sponsored by Andorra, Argentina, Armenia, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Cambodia, China, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Guatemala, Greece, Honduras, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kiribati, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Maldives, Malta, Republic of Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Morocco, Kingdom of the Netherlands, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, Senegal, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Syrian Arab Republic, Tajikistan, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Turkey, United Kingdom, United Republic of Tanzania, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Viet Nam, and Zimbabwe.
All stakeholders of the International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development fully support this resolution.
The International Science Council noted that “by proclaiming the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development, the United Nations General Assembly signals the need to shift towards a transformative era of science-based collaboration and progress. It stands as the recognition, at the higher international level, that achieving sustainable development requires a global transdisciplinary and multidimensional approach—one that bridges science disciplines, all forms of knowledge, and the realms of science, policy, and action. Rooted in the 2030 Agenda, this Decade seeks to harness a more effective and inclusive global approach to sustainability based on the synergic cooperation of all sciences and all knowledge forms in an integrative and transformative way to inform policymaking and the implementation of the SDGs.” (from https://council.science/current/news/international-decade-of-sciences-for-sustainable-development/)
