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/

SUMMARY:(REF MSP16) Health and Medical Science Plenary Anne Quaadgras
DESCRIPTION:Healthy Resilient Communities by design means bringing the social determinants of health into the set of interventions of health and medicine\, to complement the clinical interventions which have up to now been the primary focus of medical scientific research. What makes a healthy community? Economic stabilityFood security Access to quality education Stable housing and neighborhoods Social and community support Access to quality healthcare. Realizing the promise of a health community requires working with the members of the community to design and build sustainable platforms that support increased community equity\, health\, and wellbeing\, especially for people who are traditionally left out.  This requires co-design process empowers community members to set priorities and have meaningful input into how those priorities are accomplished. Sustainable\, affordable health and social services can be achieved by design when working with a community that aspires to be healthy and resilient. Medical and Social Behavioral science can be integrated into a lifelong intervention to maintain health living in thriving families. \n  \n \nThursday September 16\, 2021 3:00pm – 6:00pm CEST\n\n  Medical Science Plenary

SUMMARY:(REF OP14) Opening Plenary: How Science will Support the Attainment of the SDGs
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe main objective of the SSUNGA76 virtual meetings will be to raise awareness of the role and contribution of science to the attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The event will also demonstrate initiatives that provide models for global science mechanisms and activities in support of the SDGs\, particularly in the area of science infrastructure and capacity building. \nThe global pandemic has shown how collaboration on science can mobilize a range of stakeholders to produce solutions. The evidence needs to create a dynamic and enabling policy and regulator environment at global level. And this is why the UN General Assemble needs to consider research and development\, science and innovation \nScience 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 important role in how policy objectives are achieved and the consequent benefit to people everywhere including response to global challenges. \nEngagement with policy leadership is more important than ever: UNGA 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 are increasingly determining how priorities are set. Science needs to be part of this dialogue and inform outputs\, through thought leadership\, providing evidence\, insights and analysis and innovation. \nThe UNGA76 Science Summit will examine the enabling policy\, regulatory and financial environment needed to establish and sustain the science mechanisms\, capacities required to support genuinely global scientific collaboration collaborations across continents\, across nations and themes.\nAttainment of the SDGs will require alignment on policy and regulation that impact science and technology. Alignment is necessary to ensure access to date and the resulting innovation. It is also necessary to enable the rapid sharing of data\, the fair use of data and related benefit sharing. \n \nTuesday September 14\, 2021 3:00pm – 6:00pm CEST\n\n  SDG13\n\nCompany Yes\, in progress\, 2022\nAudience MEP/Other Legislator\, Sinior Official\, Senior Official\nArea EU\, Asia\, Africa\, US\, LAC
