Science for a Sustainable Future 2023: Energy in the transition to Net Zero
Researchers and policy makers discuss the importance of clean energy in achieving net zero ambitions – and the issues that challenge progress.
What is it about?
Science for a Sustainable Future is a joint initiative of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (UN SDSN) and Springer Nature.
Now in its fourth year, the initiative has brought together policymakers, government representatives, UN officials and leading global scientists to discuss and advance the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Science for a Sustainable Future event series has included several virtual conferences and webinars, and the publication of a range of policy briefs and white papers.
Why is it important?
One of the Sustainable Development Goals, SDG 17, is focused on partnerships that will help the world to achieve the other 16 goals. One of the challenges that can be tackled through partnerships is improved "knowledge mobilization" – connecting scientists and policy makers to put research knowledge into practice. This will help us make progress on issues like energy and social justice, the transition to net zero, food systems and land use, and how we can work together to change societal behaviours.
