¿cuáles fueron las temáticas?

Swipe to learn about the 6 cross-cutting themes of the CILAC Forum

Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development

The UN proclaimed the Decade of Ocean Science (2021-2030) with the aim of ensuring that science supports efforts to achieve the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This decade offers a unique opportunity to strengthen ocean and coastal management for the benefit of humanity.

International Decade of Science for Sustainable Development

The UN proclaimed the International Decade of Science for Sustainable Development (2024-2033) to reduce technological gaps and harness science to address global challenges. This period seeks a collaborative approach that provides policymakers with key data for sustainable policies.

Open science to reduce gaps

Open science seeks to make science more accessible and transparent, facilitating the exchange of data to reduce global gaps. Despite the challenges, the 2021 UNESCO Recommendation highlights the importance of citizen science and the inclusion of excluded groups, promoting greater equity in access to scientific knowledge.

Artificial Intelligence for environmental sustainability

Artificial intelligence (AI) is crucial for sustainable development, facilitating more efficient resource management and waste reduction. However, questions arise about algorithmic decision-making, regulation to protect privacy, and the impact of AI on equity and science.

The new space economy

The space economy has traditionally been driven by sectors such as telecommunications. However, new economic players, attracted by the potential for innovation and growth, are investing in the sector, bringing a different approach to risk, although public resources still require caution and longer timeframes to minimise risk.

Science for the protection of life

Science is an essential space for human development, improving our quality of life by providing health, food, energy and well-being. In addition, it offers solutions to everyday challenges and generates new knowledge that benefits society as a whole.
