The science academies of the G7 states are calling for urgent international action to protect the ocean and polar regions and to accelerate decarbonisation. In the healthcare sector, scientists demand increased global pandemic preparedness and the implementation of a One Health approach, which considers the health of humans, animals, plants and the wider environment as closely linked and interdependent. Their recommendations are set out in four statements which were submitted to the German federal government today at the Science7 Dialogue Forum 2022 in Berlin/Germany.
The four statements are available here:
1. Urgent need for coordinated measures to protect the ocean and the cryosphere
2. Achieving climate neutrality by accelerating decarbonisation
3. Development of antiviral drugs for increased pandemic preparedness
4. A One Health approach to zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance
