The IAP-ISC webinar is taking place on 10 December 2024

In September 2024, world leaders adopted the Pact for the Future at the United Nations General Assembly and the Summit of the Future. This transformative agreement, alongside its annexes—the Global Digital Compact and the Declaration on Future Generations—seeks to address pressing global challenges such as climate change, digital transformation, sustainable development and the advancement of human rights. The Pact highlights the importance of evidence-based policymaking and international scientific collaboration in achieving equitable and sustainable progress for present and future generations.

To explore the implications of this landmark framework for the scientific community, the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) and the International Science Council (ISC) are hosting a webinar on 10 December 2024. The event will delve into how the Pact reshapes global governance, fosters international cooperation and impacts the work of national science academies.
