There is wide agreement across the multilateral system that trust in science is essential for peace, development and human rights. It is a thread that runs through the UN75 Declaration, Our Common Agenda, and the Pact for the Future.
Taking place during Summit of the Future Action Day 1, this side event brings together dynamic young scientists, distinguished later-career scientists, and global leaders to advance trust in science at the multilateral level. In a panel discussion with audience interaction, participants explore how young people can be mobilized to support trust in science at different scales (local, national, multilateral) to address the challenges of the 21st century.
