New
Guide: How Science Academies Can Support the Sustainable Development Goals
The
United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development identified 17
Sustainable Development Goals whose realization will require expertise from
many sectors, including science, engineering, and medicine. Supporting
the Sustainable Development Goals: A Guide for Merit-Based Academies, a
new publication from the InterAcademy Partnership, explains why and how
academies around the globe can support the Sustainable Development Goals – for
example, by providing advice to governments about implementing the goals, and
by monitoring and evaluating progress toward the goals.
The
guide is now available on the IAP website.
