The Australian Academy of Science has joined 105 other science academies around the world to offer scientific support for the global development agenda of the United Nations’ High Level Panel of Eminent Persons.
In a statement published this week, the Inter-Academies Panel (IAP) said science is crucial for achieving the Panel’s goals of sustainable consumption and development, including the challenges of population growth, demographic change and urbanisation, the provision of sufficient water, nutritious food and energy.
The Australian Academy of Science is a member of the Executive Committee of the IAP, which was founded in 1993 and represents 106 science academies internationally. This week’s statement follows a letter published by the IAP in March.
