In Beijing, a vibrant gathering of global scientists sparked fresh conversations on sustainability at the seminar "Sustainable Development and Inclusive Collaboration: Responsibilities of the Scientific Community." Celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Academic Divisions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, experts from around the world came together to address the intertwined challenges of climate change, environmental pollution, resource scarcity, and food security. 🌍
Hou Jianguo, president of the CAS, stressed that the new technological revolution — featuring breakthroughs like artificial intelligence — is transforming global sustainable development. He called on researchers and innovators to unite and harness emerging technologies to overcome some of today’s toughest challenges.
Echoing this call, science leaders such as Chennupati Jagadish of the Australian Academy of Science highlighted that inclusive, cross-border cooperation can break barriers, much like an epic team-up in a blockbuster movie. Sergei Chernyshev of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Peter Gluckman from the International Science Council also shared inspiring insights, emphasizing that sustained collaboration will be key to pioneering solutions for a better tomorrow.
With more than 60 participants representing 14 countries and regions, the seminar underscored a powerful message: when diverse minds collaborate, innovative breakthroughs are within reach. This united scientific effort not only fuels cutting-edge research but also builds bridges across cultures and disciplines, inspiring a global move towards a sustainable future. 🚀🤝
