JSPG CEO, Shalin Jyotishi, addresses the 23rd Session of the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) meeting, held virtually due to COVID-19.

Earlier this year, the Journal of Science Policy and Governance and the United Nations Major Group for Children and Youth published a special topics issue around the 'Impacts of Emerging Technologies on Inequality and Sustainability.' This issue highlighted pieces authored by students, policy fellows, and early career researchers addressing important science and technology policy topics with regards to emerging technologies.

JSPG CEO and UNMGCY member Shalin Jyotishi presented the issue and a brief testimony to share the views of early career scientists, engineers, and policy professionals on these topics during the 23rd Session of the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) virtual meeting. CSTD is housed within the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). This opportunity provided an avenue to elevate the voices of the next generation before high-level foreign government leaders. The meeting was focused on i) harnessing rapid technological change for inclusive and sustainable development, and 2) exploring space technologies for sustainable development. Given the COVID-19 pandemic, the meeting also covered how international collaboration is needed to promote the use of science, technology, and innovation (STI) for tackling the pandemic and addressing its impact in an equitable way.
