I had the privilege of participating in an insightful panel organised by OECD with a very diverse group of speakers to address this challenging topic : Jessica Ambler, Henrik Larsen, Mikael Román, Dmitry Plekhanov,Guillermo Anlló, and Ana Persic.
We we explored recommendations, guidelines or tools recently deployed to support relevant stakeholders in guiding the development of STI activities and outputs to prepare for and respond to global systemic threats. Exchanges between panelists and with the audience might focus on unpacking:
– Whether the scientific process and modern STI policy are well-equipped to support the realisation of just and inclusive sustainability transitions.
– The roles that IOs, specifically, can play in promoting and informing (transformative STI and STI policy reforms to enable transitions.
– Good practice and lessons learned through practical experience of supporting STI and STI policy in contributing to transitions.
The most critical challenges to mobilising STI to contribute to sustainability transitions and how IOs can help to overcome them.
