UN Scientific Advisory Board
UN Scientific Advisory Board will convene for the first time – in Berlin.
The Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) is a new body created by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. It is composed of 26 internationally leading scientists. The SAB is tasked with providing advice to the UN Secretary-General and the Executive Heads of UN organizations on strengthening the interface between science, policy and society, particularly in areas relevant to sustainable development. The creation of the Board was recommended in January 2012 by the Report of the UN Secretary-General’s High-Level Panel on Global Sustainability.
The UN Secretary-General has announced the creation of the SAB at the inaugural meeting of the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development during the 68th session of the UN General Assembly, on 24 September 2013. On the same occasion, he informed that he had requested UNESCO to host the Secretariat for the Board.
The inaugural meeting of the SAB will take place in Berlin on 30 and 31 January 2014 at the invitation of the German Federal Government. The session is organized by UNESCO, in cooperation with the German Federal Foreign Office and the German Commission for UNESCO.
