Diplomacia Científica en las Américas: Abordando los Desafíos Globales

A statement issued by representatives from the Americas during the Scientific Diplomacy Forum in Panama (October 16-21, 2023), emphasizing scientific diplomacy as a tool to bridge gaps in science, technology, and innovation to address global challenges.

• Scientific diplomacy is identified as a mechanism to close gaps in science, technology, and innovation, and to build bridges with public policies to influence relations within the Americas. The document highlights Panama as one of the first Latin American countries to implement a national scientific diplomacy strategy.
• The representatives emphasize that achieving the 2030 Agenda's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and managing global changes require ongoing training and dialogue between government officials, scientists, advisors, and civil society to ensure public policies are informed by scientific evidence.
• The statement calls for the creation of a transdisciplinary work network that addresses the intersection of science, diplomacy, and public policy based on regional needs. This approach should be international, interdisciplinary, intercultural, intersectoral, and inclusive.
• The document stresses that effective and sustainable decisions for society and the environment can only be achieved through policies informed by scientific evidence that also account for political, economic, and socio-cultural factors.
