WSF RIO Declaration goes forward to UN
Role of science in global sustainability to form basis of post-2015 MDGs
RIO, December 2, 2013: The closing session of the 6th World Science Forum today published its closing declaration with delegates from over 100 countries pledging to advance the use of Science for global sustainable development. The declaration will now be taken forward by UNESCO as a key starting point for preliminary planning of the Post-2015 Millennium Sustainable Development Goals. Based on three days of intense and informed debate, the declaration contains 5 main recommendations for action:
Harmonization of global and national efforts
Education to reduce inequalities and promote global and sustainable science and innovation
Responsible and ethical conduct of research and innovation
Improved dialogue with governments, society, industry and media on sustainability issues
Sustainable mechanisms for the funding of science
WSF President Professor József Pálinkás was also pleased that the declaration provides a clear statement not just for policy makers but also the public on the essential role science can play in achieving global sustainability.
