Science Diplomacy in the Americas: Addressing Global Challenges

• The declaration asserts that achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda and addressing global changes requires capacity building and close collaboration between scientists, diplomats, and policy makers to ensure public policies are informed by scientific evidence.
• The signatories advocate for an inclusive, transdisciplinary, and intersectoral approach to science diplomacy in the Americas, specifically calling for the inclusion of underrepresented groups in accordance with the 2017 Montevideo Strategy.
