Plenary session II – RISK ASSESSMENT – Weighing Risk in Policymaking

Organised by: United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), International Science Council (ISC)

Venue: Ceremonial Hall, Pesti Vigadó (2nd floor)

Abstract: When scientists provide evidence to inform policy, evidence is only one component of the decision-making process. There are multiple competing risks, values and factors that inform policy. In a world of increasing geopolitical tensions and immediate risks to human and national security, communicating risk at the science-policy interface can be fraught. How can science provide and communicate evidence that speaks to both immediacy and complexity of risk, especially in cases where risks may… (more)

Abstract: The implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda and the progress towards Sustainable Development Goals, adopted in 2015 by UN member states, is behind schedule as it was clearly shown in the halfway to 2030 Global Sustainable Development Report of 2023. While the reasons for going off-track are manifold and the consequences are alarming, there is a clear consensus that the solutions to accelerate the progress towards SDGs are deeply rooted in science. In an era of unprecedented interconnectedness among… (more)

Abstract: As researchers, our responsibilities extend beyond the realm of academic publishing. They encompass science outreach, education, diplomacy, policy advocacy, entrepreneurship, and collaborations aimed at addressing global challenges or progress towards more equitable societies. These efforts, however, are hampered by current research assessment practices and the academic reward system, which perpetuates a 'publish or perish' research culture. This culture confines the scope of science to academic… (more)

Abstract: In 1987, the World Commission on Environment and Development report “Our Common Future”, highlighted the central and critical role of educators and education for progress throughout societies. This was underscored in the UN “Decade of Education for Sustainable Development” from 2005 to 2014 led by UNESCO. In 2020, the “ESD for 2030 Roadmap”, also under the leadership of UNESCO, brought renewed attention to educators and education for achieving the SDGs. Notwithstanding the numerous… (more)
