G20, the summit of the Academies concluded at the Lincei

“Full agreement” was reached on two documents at the G20 Summit of the Academies which ended today at the Accademia dei Lincei, in Rome. The Lincei let it be known that during the S20 + SSH20 Academic Summit held in Rome, at the headquarters of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, on 22 and 23 September 2021, the National Academies of Sciences and the National Academies of Human and Social Sciences of the countries members of the G20 affirmed their full agreement on the two joint documents, which they prepared and approved, concerning the pandemic and environmental crisis that the world is going through. This crisis, reports the Accademia dei Lincei, “has also produced serious consequences of another nature: cultural, educational, juridical, socio-economic”. For this reason, the Academies highlight the importance of interdisciplinary research to address future crises, not only of a health nature, and underline the importance of collaboration between the natural and social sciences to overcome resistance to vaccines. Not only from this point of view, it is therefore necessary to establish a large network that combines the skills of all the scientific disciplines involved. The Academies hope that the governments that will meet in Rome for the G20 summit will take into consideration the proposals presented in the two documents. The Academies undertake to follow the concrete actions that should be undertaken in the coming months to implement their proposals. “We are convinced that the G20 meetings, at all levels, are already an important and encouraging result such as to help clarify, in the choices and in the relationship with public opinion, aspects that are not always clear and shared of the current crises”, he commented. at the end of the works in Via della Lungara the president of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, Roberto Antonelli.
