About Us
Scientists from around the world are meeting in Denmark this week for the first UN forum on science, technology, and innovationand they're calling on the UN to put its money where its mouth is.
Specifically, they're calling on the UN's Technology Mechanism to provide $1 billion a year to help developing countries tackle some of the world's biggest challenges, including climate change, poverty, and inequality, the New York Times reports.
The forum, which will focus on the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, was set up in 2024, and a summary of its findings was released by the UN this week.
"Science and technology have the potential to transform societies by fundamentally transforming and propelling societies towards more equitable and sustainable futures," says one of the forum's co-chairs, Denmark's Christina Markus Lassen, per the Times.
But, she adds, "We need to do it in a way that ensures the benefits of technological advancements are shared by all, particularly the most vulnerable."
