The S20 Summit meeting featured sessions, dedicated to finalizing text of the Science20 Communique. The draft Communique provides policymakers with valuable science-driven recommendations, emphasizing the importance of collaboration among G20 nations. The text of the communique was finalized by all the participating G20 Member and Invited Countries and International Organizations.
Recognizing the role of disruptive science in advancing sustainable development, the S20 affirmed the role of strengthening international cooperation to help achieve clean energy for a green and just future, universal holistic health, and having better pathways for connecting science to society, culture and heritage. It was agreed to establish a Mission Energy Access that aims to greatly accelerate clean energy access efforts across the developing world, thereby ensuring that the ongoing clean energy transition truly leaves no one behind.
It was agreed to initiate a Global Digital Heritage Initiative, which is aimed at preserving global heritage, both tangible and intangible, through the application of digital and cyber-physical technologies. This initiative would represent a paradigm shift to harness the transformative potential of science and technology to both preserve and broaden access to the rich heritage and culture from all G20 countries and other parts of the world.
Establishment of an International Platform on Emerging Disruptive Technologies was also recommended, which would serve as a critical platform to generate and disseminate knowledge to help navigate the interfaces between science, technology, law, and policy.
