The Science Technology, Innovation, and Engineering Solutions for the SDGs: Theory, Practice, and Application will be held on 3 May, from 08:15 to 09:30 AM EST / 2:15 to 3:30 PM CEST, at the Trusteeship Chamber, UN Headquarters in New-York.
This Special Event, organized by the Science and Technological Community Major Group (STC MG), co-chaired by WFEO and the International Science Council (ISC), aims at bringing together the Major Groups and other Stakeholders (MGoS) to discuss ways for improving understanding and communication of the critical role science, technology, innovation and engineering must play for achieving the (SDGs) with a focus on the SDGs under review at the 2023 UN high-level political forum to be held in July 2023 – SDGs 6, 7, 9, 11, and 17.
It will address the urgent need to accelerate progress in the Decade of Action. It will also be an opportunity to discuss sustainable infrastructure and its connections with Science Technology, Innovation, and Engineering for Sustainable Development.
Three topics will be reviewed and discussed to demonstrate how STI & E underpins the achievement of the SDGs and delivers multiplier effects across SDGs. Each topic will be introduced by a brief presentation of the key underlying science, technology, innovation, and engineering concepts. This will be followed by examples of applications in developing countries.
K.N. Gunalan, Co-Chair of the STC MG and Chair of the WFEO UN Relations Committee, will chair the meeting, and WFEO Former President, 2017-2019, Dr Marlene Kanga AO will speak at the closing session.
