SUMMARY:(REF DF24) How Development Finance can support Science for the SDGs\, including leveraging other funding instruments\, Convened by ISC
DESCRIPTION:(REF DF28) How Development Finance can support science to achieve the SDGs\nAbstract \nDevelopment Finance Institutions (DFIs) are specialised development organisations that are usually majority-owned by national governments. DFIs invest in private sector projects in low and middle-income countries to promote job creation and sustainable economic growth. They apply stringent investment criteria aimed at safeguarding financial sustainability\, transparency\, and environmental and social accountability. \nFacing the corona crisis\, many Development Finance Institutions support industries fighting the pandemic. The International Monetary Fund has agreed to boost the finances of low and middle-income countries to support their pandemic response through a $650bn allocation of its special drawing rights. “This is a historic decision — the largest SDR allocation in the history of the IMF and a shot in the arm for the global economy at a time of unprecedented crisis\,” said Kristalina Georgieva\, IMF managing director\, in a statement on Monday\, 2 August 2021. \nThe IMF is not the only one allocating funds aimed at overcoming the pandemic. The World Bank designated numerous programs designed to deal with the challenges of the pandemic. As part of the World Bank Group’s response to the pandemic\, IFC is deploying fast-track financing to help keep companies in business and preserve jobs. \nIn synergy with the IMF and the World Bank are significant initiatives by the DFIs after the pandemic: \n\nThe European Investment Bank invests into digitalisation and a green revival;\nThe African Development Bank Group is spurring sustainable economic development and social progress\, with an objective of poverty reduction in its Regional Member Countries (RMCs)\, achieving this by: mobilising and allocating resources for investment in RMCs; and providing policy advice and technical assistance to support development efforts;\nThe European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has dedicated 21 billion € to help counter the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.\n\nThe United States International Development Finance Cooperation has a multi-pronged response to COVID-19\, which marshals public and private resources to expand access to critical therapeutics and medical equipment designed for low-resource environments\, to bolster liquidity and funding for these purposes\, thereby strengthening existing health systems and assets to build resilient local capacity and assure essential services are not severely disrupted by the pandemic. \nThis Session will explore the link between development financing and science and innovation.\nThe commitment to addressing the Covid pandemic by development banks and many multilateral fora is extensive. It can be informed by a more comprehensive engagement with the science\, and medical research community. Digital tools for steering financing and directing funding to better effect and accelerating results towards achieving the UN SDG’s can greatly enhance policy development and operational oversight. The Session will examine how: \n\nLinking development finance to science and research can improve both;\nTo maintain policies\, legal frameworks\, regulations and programmes which promote multi-disciplinary cross-sector research collaboration for achieving the UN SDG’s – among scientists\, research institutions and innovative businesses;\nMethodological policy support can vastly improve flexible and agile research collaborations that facilitate rapid\, interdisciplinary\, and evidence-based responses to future systemic crises and natural disasters across nations;\nPromoting effective and efficient processing as well as sharing of research data as openly as possible and securely as necessary\, improving the availability\, sustainability\, usability and interoperability of research data\, technologies\, infrastructure and services;\nDevelopment finance using digital finance tracking innovations can improve science programmes funded by nations\, science funding bodies and others;\nImproving development finance funding mechanisms are defined for international comparison and learning can increase synergy and generate re-usable scientific knowledge from the global initiatives for science;\nDevelopment finance can support capacity building for scientific research addressing COVID 19 and other diseases in areas including clinical trials\, biobanking\, other medical sciences\, agri-food\, and environment\, amongst others;\nSupporting blockchain\, AI\, and federated learning can enable data analytics and evidence-based response to pandemics and pandemic preparedness;\nEnsuring the global approaches to regulations prioritise funding effectiveness for science and innovation to achieve the UN SDG’s: E.g. data protection regulation\nInput on science and innovation for policymakers at regional\, national and multistakeholder levels can increase global scientific impact in achieving the UN SDGs;\nSupporting policy alignment for synergy in development finance at the international level;\nSupporting awareness by creating an inventory and directory of development finance initiatives can reduce waste and duplication\n\nThursday September 23\, 2021 2:00pm – 4:30pm CEST\n\n  Financing

SUMMARY:(REF KI23) Kilimanjaro Innovation Hub to Enable Africa to Achieve SDG’s on Time
DESCRIPTION:The world is undergoing a fourth industrial revolution at an unprecedented rate. Africa must proactively embrace it to ensure the communities benefit\, and the youth succeed in the new world. Africa is yet to realize its potential in the digital space and leverage technology to build a more prosperous society. Urgent\, bold\, and coordinated action is needed so we can make this transformation successful. Leveraging these digital opportunities demands a new mindset and leadership. Like many new and mostly unknown opportunities\, there are risks to mitigate and lessons to be learnt to ensure our future is safe and inclusive. To realize this newly identified opportunity it demands learning\, collaboration\, and partnerships\, both within and beyond Africa.\n“The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly reduced economic growth and altered patterns of international economic interactions. While we are still in the midst of the crisis\, there is real concern that the majority of macroeconomic effects will not be temporary\, but will disproportionately shift long-term development pathways in low- and middle-income countries\, offsetting some of the gains made towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in recent decades.” UNDP – Analyzing long-term socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 across diverse African contexts 2021.\n \nThe need to design innovative programs targeting over 50% of the African population i.e. its youth is critical at this preceding moment. Kilimanjaro Innovation Hub (KIH) is established with a broad social entrepreneurial vision of capacity building of the youths\, empowering with business\, entrepreneurial and digital skills to remove insecurity and instil confidence. KIH envisioned a nation free from unemployment and ensured fruitful engagement in the economic development of the country by attaining innovation\, entrepreneurship and digital literacy.\n \nObjective \n\nBuilding the skills of youth in ICT that will enhance their digital and marketing skills to promote commerce\nTraining in business development\, financial management and entrepreneurship;\nProvide a platform for startups working on innovation to transform their pilot-scale initiatives into impactful ventures\nTraining in supply chain management in order to become connected and value add across the spectrum\nMobilize funds from national & international organizations\, multilateral and bilateral agencies\, private sector for seed money and grant-making\nCreating collaborative and consortium partnerships for promoting entrepreneurship\nExtend initial support or tie-ups for startups to scale up their innovations\nLink the startup entrepreneurs with investors and financial institution to enable them to raise the seed capital\nCreate inter-generation link through mentorship and coaching\nBridge the gap between education –internship-to employment\n\nStudies are showing the long-term effect of the economic downturn caused by COVID 19 pandemic will lead to an erosion of the gains made towards the SDG’s. While still there are a lot of unknowns the need to create economic empowerment for the youth will ultimately help to sustain the gains and lead to greater development. Kilimanjaro Innovation Hub envisions to be a real source to achieve the SDG’s in Africa. The Session will examine how: \n\nCreating an innovation hub in Africa will contribute to economic growth and partnership and creativity across the continent;\nInvesting in skill and empowerment of youth helps to sustain the gains made towards SDG’s;\nExpanding talents on ICT will enhance youth digital and marketing skills to promote commerce in general and e-commerce in particular;\nIndigenous knowledge can be aided through technology and innovation to create sustained solutions;\nInternational cooperation and partnership flourished through innovation;\nInvestment in economic empowerment of youth speed up the economic recovery from COVID 19 pandemic;\nKilimanjaro innovation hub envisions to be a real source to achieve SDG’s in Africa.\n\nwww.kilimanjarohub.com

SUMMARY:(REF CT22) EDCTP: an EU-Africa partnership advancing global health research and cooperation
DESCRIPTION:EDCTP virtual side event at the 76th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA76)\nEDCTP: an EU-Africa partnership advancing global health research and cooperation\n\n22 September 2021 – 15:00-17:00 CEST \nThe European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) is a public-public partnership between 16 African and 14 European countries that aims to accelerate the development of new or improved medical interventions for the identification\, treatment and prevention of infectious diseases\, including emerging/re-emerging diseases. Launched in 2003 and renewed in 2014\, EDCTP has been the focal point of European Union (EU) support for global health research in Africa\, and a visible sign of commitment first to the Millennium Development Goals and then to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). EDCTP actively contributes to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its associated SDGs\, most directly to SDG3 (‘Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages) but also to SDG1 (‘End poverty in all its forms everywhere). \nClinical trials supported by the second EDCTP programme (EDCTP2; 2014-2024) involve international collaborations spanning across over 60 countries and 350 institutions in Europe and sub-Saharan Africa\, with broader global collaboration. By June 2021\, the EDCTP2 portfolio comprised 416 grants awarded through 60 Calls for Proposals\, representing a total investment of EUR 810 million. Results from EDCTP-funded clinical trials have generated pivotal evidence which will be translated into policy and implemented in practice by the appropriate partners\, ensuring greater global health impact. Due to launch in the first quarter of 2022\, the future EDCTP programme (Global Health EDCTP3) will retain its focus on poverty-related infectious diseases affecting sub-Saharan Africa\, but it will have additional resources and a stronger commitment to collaborative and coordinated approaches to address them\, working with global and regional partners to tackle existing and emerging infectious disease threats. It will also continue to strengthen the enabling environment for conducting clinical research capacity in the region. Building on the foundation laid by the two previous EDCTP programmes\, the partnership will ensure that more people gain access to new medical interventions and help to protect and strengthen regional and global health security. \nOn the occasion of the 76th United Nations General Assembly\, this side meeting will aim to advance the broader discussion on how to ensure sustained support and advancement along the continuum of product development for infectious diseases\, including scale-up\, implementation and access in sub-Saharan Africa and globally\, in the pursuit of achieving the health-related targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. \nThe objectives of the session will be to: \n· Showcase how EDCTP contributes to the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\n· Secure global policy support for Global Health EDCTP3\, to increase awareness and build engagement with prospective partners\n· Develop input on the United Nations roadmap for digital cooperation\, including alignment with the EU’s digital transformation agenda for the EU and Africa\n· Address health research obstacles including data governance\, particularly access to and use of data by developing countries\n· Highlight the evolution of the programme into Global Health. \nThe session speaker will include: \n\nMarcel Tanner\, EDCTP High Representative\, Europe\nRuxandra Draghia-Akli\, Janssen\, USA\nLeonardo Simão\, EDCTP High Representative\, Africa\nMichael Makanga\, EDCTP Executive Director\, the Netherlands\nMarleen Temmerman\, Aga Khan University\, Kenya\nPeter Kilmarx\, Fogarty International Center\, National Institutes of Health\, USA\nMargareth Ndomondo-Sigonda\, AUDA-NEPAD\, South Africa\n\nWednesday September 22\, 2021 3:00pm – 5:00pm CEST\n\n  Clinical Trials

SUMMARY:(REF FF21) Future Frontiers of the Global Economy and Society: the Role of Science and Collaborative Research
DESCRIPTION:FUTURE FRONTIERS \nFuture frontiers of the global economy and society – from cyberspace to outer space – will determine the future prosperity and wellbeing of people all over the world in the decades ahead. As we are witnessing an increasing divergence of models\, this transformation raises important questions about the interaction between economic opportunity\, security\, ethics\, and human rights\, and the balance between the role of the state\, businesses and individuals. \nThe Shared Agenda for Global Action to Build Back Better following the G7 Summit agreed on a shared G7 agenda for global action to: \n● End the pandemic and prepare for the future by driving an intensified international effort\, starting immediately\, to vaccinate the world by getting as many safe vaccines to as many people as possible as fast as possible. Total G7 commitments since the start of the pandemic provide for a total of over two billion vaccine doses\, with the commitments since we last met in February 2021\, including here in Carbis Bay\, providing for one billion doses over the next year. At the same time\, we will create the appropriate frameworks to strengthen our collective defences against threats to global health by increasing and coordinating on global manufacturing capacity on all continents; improving early warning systems; and support science in a mission to shorten the cycle for the development of safe and effective vaccines\, treatments and tests from 300 to 100 days. \n● Reinvigorate our economies by advancing recovery plans that build on the $12 trillion of support we have put in place during the pandemic. We will continue to support our economies for as long as is necessary\, shifting the focus of our support from crisis response to promoting growth into the future\, with plans that create jobs\, invest in infrastructure\, drive innovation\, support people\, and level up so that no place or person\, irrespective of age\, ethnicity or gender is left behind. This has not been the case with past global crises\, and we are determined that this time it will be different.\n● Secure our future prosperity by championing freer\, fairer trade within a reformed trading system\, a more resilient global economy\, and a fairer global tax system that reverses the race to the bottom. We will collaborate to ensure future frontiers of the global economy and society\, from cyberspace to outer space\, increase the prosperity and wellbeing of all people while upholding our values as open societies. We are convinced of the potential of technological transformation for the common good in accordance with our shared values.\n● Protect our planet by supporting a green revolution that creates jobs\, cuts emissions and seeks to limit the rise in global temperatures to 1.5 degrees. We commit to net-zero no later than 2050\, halving our collective emissions over the two decades to 2030\, increasing and improving climate finance to 2025; and conserving or protect at least 30 per cent of our 1 land and oceans by 2030. We acknowledge our duty to safeguard the planet for future generations. \n● Strengthen our partnerships with others around the world. We will develop a new partnership to build back better for the world\, through a step-change in our approach to investment for infrastructure\, including through an initiative for clean and green growth. We are resolved to deepen our current partnership to a new deal with Africa\, including by magnifying support from the International Monetary Fund for countries most in need to support our aim to reach a total global ambition of $100 billion. \n● Embrace our values as an enduring foundation for success in an ever-changing world. We will harness the power of democracy\, freedom\, equality\, the rule of law and respect for human rights to answer the biggest questions and overcome the greatest challenges. We will do this in a way that values the individual and promotes equality\, especially gender equality\, including by supporting a target to get 40 million more girls into education and with at least $2¾ billion for the Global Partnership for Education. We shall seek to advance this open agenda in collaboration with other countries and within the multilateral rules-based system. In particular\, we look forward to working alongside our G20 partners and with all relevant International Organisations to secure a cleaner\, greener\, freer\, fairer and safer future for our people and planet. \nFrom the F7 June 2021 Final Communique \nhttps://www.g7uk.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Carbis-Bay-G7-Summit-Communique-PDF-430KB-25-pages-1-2.pdf \nTuesday September 21\, 2021 5:00pm – 7:00pm CEST\n\n  Communicating

SUMMARY:(REF BA21) Biodiversity: Forests\, Health and Society convened by IMIBIO Biodiversity Institute\, Misiones\, Argentina Erik Ruuth
DESCRIPTION:Misiones is one of the 23 provinces of Argentina\, strategically located in the extreme northeast of the country of the Mesopotamia region. Approximately 91% of its borders are international being surrounded by Paraguay to the northwest\, Brazil to the north\, east and south\, and the Argentine province of Corrientes to the southwest. Border activity is intense with more than 27 million entries and exits reflecting that more than 100 million inhabitants live within a radius of 1000km. Misiones is an entrepreneurial province that seeks sustainable solutions for its forestry industry and its expanding smallholding agriculture that exports tea and yerba among other products. Indeed\, Misiones is an entrepreneurial province looking for sustainable solutions for its forest industry and expanding agriculture. \nMisiones covers close to 1% of the Argentinian surface but harbours 52% of its biodiversity and the Iguazú waterfalls. The pristine Paranaense Forest\, which is part of the almost extinct and outstandingly biodiverse Atlantic Forest\, a worldwide recognized biodiversity Hot-Spot\, is in Misiones. The original surface of the Atlantic Forest has been reduced by 95% over the last century and now the Paranaense Forest is facing a similar fate\, in spite of all efforts made by the province\, due to increased economic and demographic pressure that the province cannot face alone. \nThe Instituto Misionero de Biodiversidad (IMiBio) was created as a unique autonomous entity financed by the provincial government and therefore dedicated to local and regional matters that will contribute to the solution of the global issues that humanity is facing as exemplified by the challenge to safeguard and restore the Paranaense Forest. IMiBio is advantageously located in the Paranaense Forest and has incorporated UN’s Sustainable Development Goals as an integral part of its objectives which evolve along five strategic axles that focus on science\, health\, civil society\, gender equality and protection of genetic resources through management of the Nagoya Protocol. \nIMiBio investigates the Paranaense biodiversity per se\, the interdependence of climate and biodiversity\, SDG 15\, Life on Land\, biodiversity and health\, SDG 13\, Climate Action and SDG 3\, Health and Wellbeing\, how to restore biodiversity for future generations and to promote sustainable development. It generates knowledge in the areas of biodiversity and\nwildlife conservation\, mapping\, sustainability and restoration of forests\, SDG 15 Life on Land\, environmentally adapted and sustainable food productions systems\, SDG2 Hunger\, and SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities\, freshwater surveillance (SDG6.6; 15.1)\, zoonoses and their transmission along with the One Health initiative\, human and animal health risks (SDG3)\, wildlife health status (SDG3)\, gender equality (SDG5)\, decent and sustainable work (SDG8)\, reduction of inequalities (SDG10)\, environmentally and climate sparing processes (SDG13). \nUltimately\, it is foreseeable that the Paranaense Forest will disappear despite all provincial efforts unless concerted actions are generated to safeguard it\, and globally recognize its intrinsic value\, and create sustainable models of development and conservation. \nRESUMEN PARA UNGA 76 \nMisiones es una de las 23 provincias de Argentina\, ubicada estratégicamente en el extremo noreste del país en la región de la Mesopotamia. El 91% de sus fronteras son internacionales y está rodeada por Paraguay al noroeste\, Brasil al norte\, este y sur\, y la provincia argentina de Corrientes al suroeste. La actividad fronteriza es intensa con más 27 millones de entradas y salidas lo que refleja la presencia de más de 100 millones de habitantes dentro de un radio de 1000km. Misiones es una provincia emprendedora que busca soluciones sostenibles para su industria forestal y su agricultura de minifundios en expansión que exporta té y yerba entre otros productos. \nMisiones alberga el 52% de la biodiversidad de la República Argentina\, representando cerca del 1% de la superficie del país\, con la maravilla mundial que son las Cataratas del Igauazú. Allí se encuentra la Selva Paranaense\, que forma parte del casi extinto\, y con una biodiversidad excepcional\, Bosque Atlántico definido cómo un “Hot Spot” de biodiversidad reconocido mundialmente. La extensión del Bosque Atlántico se redujo en un 95% durante el último siglo\, y ahora la Selva Paranaense enfrenta un destino similar debido a la presión económica y demográfica. Todos los esfuerzos realizados por la provincia\, con mucho sacrificio\, para guardar Selva Paranaense no son suficientes\, Misiones no puede hacer frente sola a la desaparición de su joya de biodiversidad. \nEl Instituto Misionero de Biodiversidad (IMiBio) es una entidad autónoma\, única\, que es financiada por el gobierno provincial\, y se dedica a los asuntos locales y regionales como un medio para contribuir a la solución de los problemas globales que enfrenta la humanidad\nejemplificada por la guarda y restauración de la Selva Paranaense. El Instituto está ubicado en la Selva Paranaense y ha incorporado los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) de la ONU como parte integral de sus objetivos\, los cuales se enmarcan dentro de cinco ejes estratégicos que se enfocan en ciencia\, salud\, sociedad civil\, igualdad de género\, gestión y protección de los recursos genéticos en acuerdo con el protocolo de Nagoya. \nEl IMiBio desarrolla investigación de la biodiversidad paranaense per se\, la interdependencia del clima y la biodiversidad (ODS 15)\, la biodiversidad y la salud (ODS 13.3)\, la restauración de la biodiversidad para las generaciones futuras y la promoción del desarrollo sostenible (ODS 15.1-2; 15.5-9). Genera conocimiento en las áreas de conservación de la biodiversidad y la vida silvestre\, cartografía de la selva\, sostenibilidad y restauración de bosques (ODS 15); sistemas de producción de alimentos sostenibles adaptados al medio ambiente (ODS 2); y ciudades (ODS 11); vigilancia del agua dulce (ODS 6. 6; 15.1); las zoonosis y su transmisión a lo largo de la iniciativa “One Health”\, los riesgos para la salud humana y animal (ODS3); el estado de salud de la vida silvestre (ODS3); la igualdad de género (ODS5); el trabajo decente y sostenible (ODS8); la reducción de las desigualdades (ODS10); y procesos respetuosos con el medio ambiente y el clima (ODS 13). \nResumiendo\, a pesar de los esfuerzos provinciales\, la desaparición de la Selva Paranaense es previsible si no hay un esfuerzo concertado para generar modelos sustentables y reconocimiento internacional de su valor. \nEn definitiva\, es previsible que la Selva Paranaense desaparezca a pesar de todos los esfuerzos provinciales a menos que se generen acciones concertadas para salvaguardarlo\, y reconocer mundialmente su valor intrínseco\, y crear modelos sostenibles de desarrollo y conservación \nABSTRACT FOR UNGA 76 210814 PDF

SUMMARY:(REF S1520) Science and SDG 15: Life on Land. Moving Forward with Biodiversity Next. Convened by LifeWatch ERIC Juan Miguel González-Aranda
DESCRIPTION:SDG 15 Life on Land\nThe SDG 15 is a universal and urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – to protect\, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems\, sustainably manage forests\, combat desertification\, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss by 2030. The goal\, being adopted in 2015 is a follow-up of the partially achieved millennium goals.\nAmong others\, this goal includes ensuring the conservation\, restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and their services\, the implementation of sustainable management of all types of forests\, combating desertification\, conservation of mountain ecosystems\, and the integration of ecosystem and biodiversity values into national and local planning. The creativity\, know-how\, technology and financial resources from all of society is necessary to achieve SDG 15 in every context. \nFacing e-Biodiversity Together\nThe collaboration between LifeWatch ERIC and DiSSCo (Distributed System of Scientific Collections)\, both pan-European research infrastructures focusing on biodiversity\, can be achieved in a number of ways. The direct initiation of this collaboration can be carried out through their joint support to GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility). This approach will facilitate meeting GBIF’s overall objective stated as: “Connecting data and expertise: a new alliance for biodiversity knowledge” (Hobern and Miller 2019). \nLifeWatch ERIC supports GBIF in a collaborative way by integrating and providing e-Services according to Global Biodiversity Informatics Outlook (GBIO) Framework objectives (Fig. 1)\, particularly suitable for the Understanding focus area. This concentrates on building modelled representations of biodiversity patterns and properties\, based on any possible evidence\, using the following components: Multiscale species modelling; Trends and predictions; Modelling biological systems; Visualization and dissemination; Prioritizing new data capture. Multiscale species modelling; Trends and predictions; Modelling biological systems; Visualization and dissemination; Prioritizing new data capture. In this regard\, and during the 2nd Global Biodiversity Information Conference\, LifeWatch ERIC actively participated in one of the four parallel working groups reviewing different components from the GBIO framework. Each component was selected to capture information on a broad range of different challenges and opportunities. At the same event\, DiSSCo mainly focused on the Data layer\, as the main provider of data and other types of collections resources in Europe. The Evidence layer is the fertile interface to develop sound synergies for collaboration by both research infrastructures in order to support GBIF through the development of 3 concrete activities: Participation in the co-design\, development and deployment of a multi-purpose Virtual Research Environment (VRE) to support DiSSCo\, specifically by integrating the collections e-Services and by engaging the various communities of practice; Participation in the co-design and co-implementation of relevant e-Services in LifeBlock (LifeWatch ERIC blockchain-based technology platform); The active participation of DiSSCo for integrating collections data: DiSSCo is one of the main resources needed for the integration of GLOBIS-B GLOB al Infrastructures for Supporting Biodiversity work on Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) (Kissling et al. 2018). Thus\, EBVs together with species traits will be integrated into LifeBlock platform in order to feed Ecosystem Services needed to further support Biodiversity Ecosystem Services VRE provided by LifeWatch ERIC distributed e-Infrastructure.

SUMMARY:(REF S720) SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy - ITER and Fusion Energy
DESCRIPTION:SDG 7 Affordable and Clean Energy \nThe SDG 7 is a universal and urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – to ensure access to affordable\, reliable\, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030. The goal\, being adopted in 2015 is a follow-up of the partially achieved millennium goals.\nAmong others\, this goal includes the achievement of universal access to affordable\, reliable and modern energy services\, the increase of renewable energy in the global energy mix\, and the improvement of energy efficiency. The creativity\, know-how\, technology and financial resources from all of society is necessary to achieve SDG 7 in every context. \nSSUNGA76 Sessions on ITER and Fusion Energy \nSession 1: 20 September 2021\, 2-4pm \n\nCan ITER and fusion energy play a role in fighting climate change?\n\nChallenge addressed by the session:\nWhile renewables and energy efficiency will play a significant role\, it might not be sufficient to achieve climate neutrality 2050 targets. Other clean energy sources might need to be employed. How likely it is that fusion energy would advance to a level where it can complement renewables? \nConcept and focus  \nThe panel session is designed to present the ITER project and fusion energy to a wide audience and to discuss its relevance in supplying sustainable energy. The aim is to raise awareness about this key technology and critically discuss its future role in a climate-friendly energy mix with experts inside and outside the ITER project. The event is targeted to reach a non-specialist audience interested in fusion energy. The session will start with a short presentation to introduce the topic to the audience and then move on to a critical panel discussion. Interactions with the public will be included in the programme. \nPlanned panellists  \n\nChair: Mr Declan Kirane (Confirmed)\nMs Shira Tabaschnikoff – ITER Organisation (Confirmed)\nDr Melanie Windridge – Tokamak Energy\, UK Director of the Fusion Industry Association and founder of Fusion Energy Insights (Confirmed)\nMs Kirsty Gogan – NGO Energy for Humanity (Proposed)\nDr Samuele Furfari – the Free University of Brussels (Proposed)\n\n Session 2: 20 September 2021\, 4-6pm \n\nWill fusion energy become commercial before 2050?\n\nChallenge addressed by the session:\nAlthough ITER is the flagship fusion project\, there are about 30 projects worldwide devoted to fusion energy\, many supported by venture capital and private funds. Several small companies and start-ups have entered the still-embryonic market of fusion reactors\, such as TAE Technologies in California\, Helion Energy in Seattle\, LPPFusion in New York\, General Fusion in Canada\, Tokamak Energy\, First Light Fusion and Applied Fusion Systems in the UK\, and the company set up by MIT in Boston\, Commonwealth Fusion Systems. \nConcept and focus  \nThe panel session will review the progress and the future perspectives of key fusion projects. And address this crucial question: when can we expect fusion energy to become commercial? Are these young companies close to mastering fusion energy or is the aim mainly to develop new technologies and hopefully find spin-off applications in other sectors\, as TAE Technologies successfully did in the field of medical technologies?\nPlanned panellists  \n\nChair: Mr Michel Claessens (Confirmed)\nMr Bernard Bigot\, Director-General – ITER Organisation (Proposed)\nMr Michel Laberge\, Chief Scientist\, General Fusion\, Canada (Proposed)\nMr Bob Mumgaard\, founder and CEO\, Commonwealth Fusion Systems\, USA (Proposed)\nMr Mark Henderson\, STEP (Proposed)\n\n \nMonday September 20\, 2021 2:00pm – 6:00pm CEST\n\n  SDG7

SUMMARY:(REF S517) SDG 5: Gender Equality. Women in Science and Women in Science Policy Making will help achieve the SDGs
DESCRIPTION:SDG 5 Gender Equality\nThe SDG 5 is a universal and urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls by 2030. The goal\, being adopted in 2015 is a follow-up of the partially achieved millennium goals.\nAmong others\, this goal includes the eradication of all forms of discrimination towards girls and women\, the end of violence towards girls and women\, the elimination of all harmful practices such as genital mutilation and early and forced marriages\, the recognition and valuation of unpaid domestic work\, equal access to leadership positions\, and universal access to sexual and reproductive health. The creativity\, know-how\, technology and financial resources from all of society is necessary to achieve the SDG 5 in every context. \nWomen in Science must cross the chasm in the ScienceDigital Divide so that Scientific Research and Digital Innovations address the problems of most concern to us as humans: How can our children grow up safely? Can future generations be able to depend on our small blue marble planet as we have? How can people thrive and flourish by removing obstacles to economic and social opportunity? Leadership is needed and women everywhere are stepping up. Now we have to join forces to support each other’s efforts. What are the policy instruments and decisions that will allow the world to harness the unstoppable energy and power of women? \nThis session will focus on the importance of co-designing science and innovation policies taking into account gender and diversity\, in all of its aspects. It will highlight why we shall prioritize and support the engagement of women scientists in different associations\, forums\, their involvement in the whole co-designing policies process\, and how that will improve science and technology developments for the benefit of our all society. \nThe session will stress the urgency of having clear policies focused on the improvement of the large gender gap in science that we are facing worldwide\, and a need to bring clear measurements for improving the status of women and girls in science. Several initiatives and examples will be presented\, including the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Forum\, the South African case study on women’s contribution to science policy\, and the African Network of Women in Astronomy (AfNWA-AfAS). Finally\, a list of recommendations will be given to help in co-designing science policies in the future to empower women and girls in science and help to achieve sustainable development goals.

SUMMARY:(REF DP17) 2) How can Life Sciences contribute to address climate change
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Science Summit at UNGA76\, a major contribution to advancing Science for the UN SDGs. Online from 14-30 Sept 2021.\nISC will organise the second edition of the UNGA76 Science Summit around the 76th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA76) in New York in September 2021. The objective of the virtual meeting will be to raise awareness of the role and contribution of science to the attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. It will demonstrate initiatives that provide models for global science mechanisms and activities in support of the SDGs\, particularly in science infrastructure and capacity building. Science is and will enable sustainable economic\, environmental\, and societal development. Science is more than a funding prioritisation exercise: science is impacting all areas of policy-making and is playing a more critical role in how policy objectives are achieved and the consequent benefit to people everywhere\, including responses to global challenges.\nEngagement with policy leadership is more important than ever: UNGA76 is a unique forum for science to demonstrate how policy and political leadership can benefit from innovation. Central to this is the role of nonstate actors and the multilateral fora\, which increasingly determine how priorities are set. Science needs to be part of this dialogue and inform outputs through thought leadership\, evidence\, insights\, analysis\, and innovation. \n

SUMMARY:(REF AC17) How Data and Tech can Feed the World and Strengthen Critical Infrastructure . Convened by the Atlantic Council and the SDGs Dr. David Bray
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday\, 17 September for a live discussion of how advances in data and technology can help achieve UN Sustainability Goals #2 and #9\, specifically: \n#2: End hunger\, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture\n#9: Build resilient infrastructure\, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation \nSuch goals are important to the future of our plan and humanity globally. Achieving occurs amid a background of the advancing speed\, scale\, and sophistication of new technologies and data capabilities that aid or disrupt our interconnected world is unprecedented. \nWhile generations have relied consistently on technologies and tools to improve societies\, we now are in an era where new technologies and data reshape societies and geopolitics in novel and even unanticipated ways. As a result\, governments\, industries\, and other stakeholders must work together to remain economically competitive\, sustain social welfare and public safety\, protect human rights and democratic processes\, and preserve global peace and stability. \nEmerging technologies also promise new abilities to make our increasingly fragile global society more resilient. To sustain this progress\, nations must invest in research\, expand their digital infrastructures\, and increase digital literacy so that their people can compete and flourish in this new era. Yet\, at the same time\, no nation or international organization is able to keep pace with the appropriate governance structures needed to grapple with the complex and destabilizing dynamics of these emerging technologies. Governments\, especially democratic governments\, must work to build and sustain trust in the algorithms\, infrastructures\, and systems that could underpin society. The world must now start to understand how technology and data interact with society and how to implement solutions that address these challenges and grasp these opportunities. Maintaining both economic and national security and resiliency requires new ways to develop and deploy critical and emerging technologies\, cultivate the needed human capital\, build trust in the digital fabric with which our world will be woven\, and establish norms for international cooperation. \nData capabilities and new technologies increasingly exacerbate social inequality and impact geopolitics\, global competition\, and global opportunities for collaboration. The coming decade—the “GeoTech Decade”—must address the sophisticated but potentially fragile systems that now connect people and nations\, and incorporate resiliency as a necessary foundational pillar of modern life. Additionally\, the rapidity of machines to make sense of large datasets and the speed of worldwide communications networks means that any event can escalate and cascade quickly across regions and borders—with the potential to further entrench economic inequities\, widen disparities in access to adequate healthcare\, as well as to hasten increased exploitation of the natural environment. \nThe coming years also will present new avenues for criminals and terrorists to do harm; authoritarian nations to monitor\, control\, and oppress their people; and diplomatic disputes to escalate to armed conflict not just on land\, sea\, and in the air\, but also in space and cyberspace. \nJoin us on Friday\, 17 September for this live discussion as part of UNGA 76\, co-hosted alongside the Atlantic Council’s GeoTech Center https://gtc.atlanticcouncil.org/
