UNESCO in collaboration with ISTIC and MEXT-Japan
Local Host: LESTARI, UKM, Malaysia
4-5 April 2013, Hotel Istana KLCC, 73, Jalan Raja Chulan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
UNESCO Office Jakarta has initiated, in close collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) of Japan, a new initiative entitled “Sustainability Science”. This project aims to raise awareness about sustainability science among policymakers in the Asia and Pacific region, with a view to position this as part of the national and regional science and technology policy. This is being achieved by:
- Facilitating a regional workshop that will bridge the knowledge gap on sustainability science, and link the research with policy development,
- Elaborating a review paper on sustainability science, and contributing to promotion and integration of sustainability science in UNESCO’s programme strategy.
As part of ongoing consultations about the UNESCO Sciences Programme, UNESCO Jakarta with the support of Japanese Fund-in-Trust, and in collaboration with the National University of Malaysia especially with the institute for Environment and Development (LESTARI) and other institutions is organizing a International Workshop on Sustainability Science : A Science based Approach to realise the Future We Want For All, 4 - 5 April 2013 at Istana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This workshop brings together a group of regional experts and stakeholders in the Asia-Pacific region to discuss and develop a common understanding of sustainability science and its role in addressing and solving key global challenges. As such this will help to position the role of science, technology and innovation in the post-2015 agenda.
During the two-day workshop in KUala Lumpur, there will be a Plenary Session of "Video Conference Link with Addis Ababa, Asia-Africa Cooperation lead by Abdalla Abdelsalam Ahmed in KL", with the theme of South-south Cooperation for Post 2015 Agenda.
This session will be held on 4 April 2013, 16:00 - 17.30 Malaysia Local Time (GMT+8). Connect-Asia will broadcast this event live from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
