As a parallel forum to the 2024 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Meeting, the “International Forum on the Decade of Science” was held in Beijing on April 25. This is the first offline conference held around the world around this theme in the first year of the “Science Decade”. Domestic and foreign officials, scientists, think tanks and representatives of scientific research institutions gathered to discuss the “Science Decade” and provide reference for the advancement of related work. and inspiration, with a view to leaving China’s mark on the development process.

In August 2023, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the resolution “International Decade of Science for Sustainable Development 2024-2033” (referred to as the “Science Decade”), and UNESCO is responsible for leading the implementation. All parties recognize the importance of science in promoting sustainable development, mobilize all parties to actively plan relevant activities and projects within their respective responsibilities, carry out relevant research work, and provide decision-makers with the analysis and data needed to formulate and effectively implement policies, so that human beings can Able to use science to play a key role in achieving economic, social and environmental sustainability.

During the speech, Xia Zehan, Director of the UNESCO East Asia Multi-Sectoral Regional Office, said that one of the goals of the “Science Decade” is to promote the development of scientific knowledge as a powerful force for mankind to achieve the sustainable development goals.

“China, especially innovative cities like Beijing, are uniquely positioned to fulfill this mission. I have personally witnessed how China uses basic science to advance environmental and social progress. Not only that, this forum provides a platform for international science The cooperation provides a unique platform for us to leverage the power of global science to jointly build a sustainable future. We hope this forum will become a springboard for groundbreaking cooperation and knowledge exchange, pushing us towards a brighter future,” said Xia Zehan.

At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation are developing in depth. To solve the problem of common development, mankind needs international cooperation and open sharing more than ever before. The International Decade of Science for Sustainable Development 2024-2033 provides a unique opportunity for mankind to use science to promote sustainable development.

The successful holding of the “International Forum on the Decade of Science” not only conveyed China’s voice and solutions on international hot topics, but also opened a new prelude to “everyone promotes science and science benefits everyone”, laying the foundation for the “Decade of Science” Get off to a good start.

Guo Huadong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the International Research Center for Big Data for Sustainable Development, said that open data is the key to open science. Open data helps promote the development of open science, enhances the transparency, reproducibility and collaboration of scientific and technological innovation activities, and enhances the value of science to social development. To accelerate the construction of big data infrastructure, we need to strengthen top-level design, create a comprehensive data ecosystem, develop an innovation-driven development model based on open science, and let big data infrastructure promote the sustainable development of open science services.

Ana María Ceto Cramis, a professor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and chair of the UNESCO Open Science Global Committee, said that open science, as an “ecosystem”, needs to strengthen the necessary capacity building of talents and institutions, and establish a complete open science Science infrastructure that solves social problems and creates a healthier future for future generations through a more equitable, diverse and inclusive science system.

Gong Ke, executive director of the China New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Strategy Research Institute and director of the Advanced Computing and Critical Software (Xinchuang) Haihe Laboratory, said that one of the goals of the “Science Decade” is to cultivate a scientifically literate public. In order to achieve This goal can be achieved through strategies such as designing top-level systems, utilizing technology and digital resources, monitoring the progress of citizens’ scientific literacy, and initiating public awareness actions, so that people of different cultures and backgrounds can have a basic understanding of scientific principles and be informed about relevant decisions.

Carlos Alvarez Pereira, secretary-general of the Club of Rome think tank, said that to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, knowledge needs to be developed and used ethically. Promote the practice of interdisciplinary education, give full play to the comprehensive role of science in social progress, make full use of and improve existing digital infrastructure, build a global interdisciplinary network, strengthen investment in scientific innovation related to sustainable development, and achieve harmony between man and the earth. Symbiosis.

Experts believe that the popularization and promotion of the “Decade of Science” on a global scale cannot be separated from the collaborative cooperation of various stakeholders. Through the promotion of open science, we can improve the scientific literacy of citizens and encourage everyone to participate in the “Decade of Science”. launch and implement their plans, programmes, projects and initiatives under the call of the United Nations to achieve a secure and prosperous future for all.Return to Sohu to see more
