Science diplomacy is not new, but it has never been more important. The potential contribution of science to foreign policy is attracting more attention in a growing number of countries. Many of the vital challenges we face today have scientific dimensions. No one country will be able to solve these problems on its own. The tools, techniques and tactics of foreign policy need to adapt to a world of increasing scientific and technical complexity.
In this session, distinguished speakers from government and academia in various countries will discuss an increasingly crucial role for science in diplomacy and international policymaking taking marine development as a practical example.
