At the beginning of the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 77) in September 2022, UN members agreed to design and implement solutions to guarantee food, water, and education for all; improve human development; reform the global financial system; secure a healthy environment; and embark on a path toward a less unjust global society. Transformative solutions are needed to respond to the multiple related crises of the Anthropocene and to help reach the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the 78th session of the UNGA now gets underway, the importance of science in helping the UN to make progress on these issues is as clear and critical as ever. Yet participation of the scientific community is not what it could and needs to be.
在 2022 年 9 月举行的第 77 届联合国大会(UNGA77)开幕式上,联合国成员国一致同意设计并实施解决方案,以保障所有人的食物、水和教育;改善人类发展;改革全球金融体系;确保健康的环境;并走上建立一个更加公正的全球社会的道路。为了应对人类世的多种相关危机,并帮助实现可持续发展目标(SDGs),需要采取变革性的解决方案。随着第 78 届联合国大会的进行,科学在帮助联合国在这些问题上取得进展方面的重要性一如既往地清晰和关键。然而,科学界的参与还没有达到应该达到的程度。
