TÜBA Has Published the Book Titled “G8-G20 Joint Statements from Science Academies to World Leaders”

TÜBA President, Professor Muzaffer Şeker, emphasized the importance of science in a joint paper published by the Science-20 (S-20) working group of the national science academies of the G20 countries. The paper, which includes 41 studies in total, was published in December 2022 in connection with the G8 and G20 summits held in 18 different years and countries from 2005 to 2022. In the introductory article, Professor Şeker highlighted the issues of inequality in education, environmental pollution, unfair income distribution, and the destruction of cultural values as significant problems facing the world. He also emphasized the importance of the formation of the G8 and G20 in addressing these issues and said that it is necessary for developing countries to be included in the solution-finding process. He noted that the G20 platform does not have decision-making power but it is an important opportunity for many developing countries to have their voices heard in the world, and that the S20 meetings are crucial in this regard as they provide an opportunity for scientists to convey their findings to decision-makers.
