UNGA77 Science Summit 2022

The 77th UNGA Science Summit was held on 13-30 September 2022. The central theme of the conference was the role and contribution science plays in attaining the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The objective of the meeting was to develop and launch science collaboration efforts, demonstrating global science mechanisms and creating activities to support the attainment of the UN SDGs. The Summit brought together thought leaders, scientists, technologists, innovators, policymakers, decision-makers, regulators, financiers, philanthropists, journalists, editors and community leaders to increase health science awareness and catalyze citizen science collaboration across a broad spectrum of themes.

 

 

UNGA77 Science Summit GLOBE Presentation

On 15 September, one of the Summit sessions, Fostering the Next Generation of STEM Professionals and Science Diplomacy, discussed The GLOBE Program and described how it fosters the next generation of STEM professionals and environmental science diplomacy. Panelists gave a presentation on how The GLOBE Program works to support the UN SDGs within their own communities. During the session, participants learned about GLOBE, how it aligns with SDGs, and possible strategies that support implementation. One panelist from each from the six GLOBE regions presented the story of GLOBE in their own country, its implementation and how the program was helping to meet their country's SDGs. During their presentations, they cited specific case studies to illustrate this work and any results from these efforts.
