Bridging Science, Policy, and Practice to Address the Triple Planetary Crisis: Strengthening Synergies for the SDGs and a Sustainable Post-2030 Future (HLPF 2026 Side Event).


This HLPF side event showcases the recently launched Asia-Pacific Synergy Report, exploring practical actions to accelerate the SDGs through climate and synergy solutions across local governments, business, youth, and international cooperation.

This side event, organized by the Ministry of the Environment, Government of Japan (MOEJ), the Republic of Panama, and key UN partners, marks the official launch of the Asia-Pacific Synergy Report. The event brings together leaders and experts from national and local governments, international organizations, business, and youth to explore how creating synergies across climate action, biodiversity, pollution, and the circular economy can optimize limited resources and accelerate SDG implementation. Co-organizers: the Republic of Panama, UNDESA, UNEP, ESCAP, ADB, and IGES
Location: 405 E 45th St, New York, NY 10017, USA

Science Day 2025: Unlocking Tomorrow's Solutions, Today.

Image
Designed to foster exchange across disciplines and sectors, Science Day has become a recognized platform for identifying where science is contributing to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Designed to foster exchange across disciplines and sectors, Science Day has become a recognized platform for identifying where science is contributing to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - and where more integration, support, and innovation are needed. This edition will thus serve both as a strategic stocktaking moment and a platform for 'horizon scanning' - grounded in practice, yet ambitious in scope. It will explore how science is supporting SDG implementation today, where systemic gaps remain, and what kinds of science-policy collaboration will be needed to advance sustainable development in the years to come. It will also consider the complex global context in which this future must be navigated - marked by political fragmentatio...

Scientific paradigm transformation with applications of AI and other disruptive technologies.

Image
Scientific research is undergoing a paradigm shift driven by AI and data-intensive inquiry , moving beyond traditional theoretical and experimental models to a new era of "agentic science" where AI systems become autonomous research partners. This transformation is characterized by AI's ability to analyze massive datasets , generate hypotheses, design experiments, and accelerate discovery at an unprecedented scale, supplementing human creativity rather than replacing it. Disruptive technologies like AI are fundamentally changing scientific processes , leading to more sophisticated, collaborative, and efficient research across all fields. The Key aspects of the transformation are in: Data-intensive inquiry : The integration of AI with the explosion of data from sensors, simulations, and internet platforms has created a "fourth paradigm" of "data-intensive science". Scientific inquiry is becoming more data-driven, with AI capable of extracting patterns...
