Sustainability Science Dialogue

Priorities for sustainability research

Together with research institutions, the Sustainability Research Initiative invites experts to exchange ideas on priorities for sustainability research. The Sustainability Science Dialogue event series serves to substantiate research needs and encourage collaborative projects, based on the themes suggested by the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences.

The UN Agenda 2030 includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Switzerland is not on track to meet those goals. How can science best contribute to accelerating this process? The Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences identified six priority themes which outline the most pressing research needs.

This event series aims to identify in which thematic areas research institutions could make a contribution, where research gaps exist and which collaborations could be promising.
