The CILAC Forum holds a new colloquium with leaders from the region, focused on the role of industry, innovation and infrastructure for Sustainable Development in Latin America and the Caribbean. Since its launch, more than 24 thousand people have been part of the colloquiums of the #CienciaEnMovimiento cycle of CILAC.
Since 2015, efforts have been made in national policies linked to productive systems that take into account “the green commitment”, increasing the cost-benefit ratio of renewable energies, supporting more intelligent production and consumption systems, digitizing public services that prevent corruption and evasion. The combination of green energy and a digital economy, in transitional processes, requires the adoption of new types of policies and actions.
What are the contributions and need of Science and Technology to achieve SDG9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure? What challenges exist today so that public policy can be designed and implemented that contributes to these objectives?
Sylvia Dohnert de Lascurain (Inter-American Development Bank), Clovis Freire Junior (UNCTAD) and Marco Llinás (ECLAC), will address these issues, moderated by Guillermo Anlló (UNESCO). As reference material, the Colloquium is supported by the series of Policy Briefs carried out by UNESCO, especially the free access document Science for the Sustainable Development Goals, SDG 9: Industry, innovation & infrastructure.
