Organised by:  SciCom - Making Sense of Science, Global Commission on Drug Policy, Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC)
Venue: Meeting Rooms 2.41-2.43
Abstract:  This panel assesses how the goal of a ‘drug-free world’ backed by a ‘war on drugs’ anchored in ‘science’ and enshrined in international drug control treaties is naïve and dangerous. Naïve, in that prohibition has little impact on drug use, up 45% in twenty years. Dangerous, in that prohibition fuels coerced drug treatments, incarcerations, extrajudicial killings, the death penalty, drives human rights abusers for profit, and contributes to record drug-related deaths. Strict drug… (more)

Venue: Meeting Rooms 1.63-1.64
Abstract:  ‘Science for social justice’ may only be achieved when politicians, decision-makers and science-policymakers set a considered and thoughtful agenda to utilize science, in reasoned and innovative ways, as a driving force for positive societal change to promote equity through innovation. However, to date, tangible results in many contexts have been mixed at best, especially in delivering a reliable mechanism for, or a path to, sustainable social equity and justice for all. As global inequality… (more)

Organised by:  Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), Young Academy of Japan (YAJ), Science Council of Japan (SCJ)
Venue: Meeting Rooms 2.44-2.46
Abstract:  In the 2019 World Science Forum’s Declaration called for concerted action on ‘science for global well-being’. In the context of longstanding social inequalities tackled by the Sustainable Development Goals, addressing challenges to humankind’s basic existence under COP26, or the world-shattering impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, few in 2019 could have foreseen how meaningful their call to arms has now become. Under the current situation, “well-being” has been an essential perspective… (more)

Abstract:  Africa’s great potential for growth and development risks to be undermined by long-standing development challenges in many sectors, including education, energy, agriculture, and healthcare. While Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) are recognized as catalyzers for sustainable development, harnessing their potential implies having sound and well-established STI systems. STI for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) roadmaps are found to be valuable instruments to mobilize national STI… (more)

Abstract:  It is a well-known fact that many of the major scientific discoveries started out as experiments driven by sheer scientific interest and without any concern over their usefulness, societal or economic impact or practical application. Yet, that is exactly what they have achieved. How do we cherish this potential? How do we make sure that among the growing expectations over the accountability and societal benefits of science funding, we retain the driving force of curiosity and perseverance as a… (more)

Abstract:  Quantum technologies have the potential to create profound changes to society, changing entire industries. The last decade has seen major breakthroughs, leading to an increase in investment from the private sector. The quantum pursuit is considerably fractured. Scattered technology and policy approaches tend to lead to a focus on a few technologies, in a few countries, in the hands of a few incumbents, all this among geopolitical tensions. … (more)

Abstract:  African cities have some of the greatest rates of population growth worldwide. According to the United Nations World Urbanization Prospects, the 1.1 billion people in Africa will double in number by 2050, with metropolitan areas seeing 80% of this development, with many living in informal settlements.  Numerous issues will arise as a result of this degree of expansion, including urban overcrowding, growing poverty and decaying infrastructure. Most importantly the decline in rural population… (more)
