International Institute of Science Diplomacy and Sustainability
There is no doubt that humanity's greatest challenges – and some of its most promising opportunities – are regional and global. Increasingly, the world requires effective partnerships between scientists, policymakers, and diplomats from different countries. The multi-disciplinary and multidimensional challenges of science-based global problems today have been amply demonstrated in the areas of climate change, biodiversity loss and plastic pollution. Even negotiations in international trade have not been spared from the critical role of science communication in pursuing partnership and collaboration. The most compelling case for science diplomacy is playing right in front of our eyes, where polemics arose ranging from the origin of the Coronavirus, right to the export and procurement of the various vaccines from several vaccine-producing countries, and the uneven distribution of those vaccines, with the ensuing delivery to developing countries. This is where science diplomacy has emerged as a critical discipline in furthering the cause of global collaboration among countries.
Sustainable Coastal Cities Research Consortium
The Sustainable Coastal Cities Research Consortium is a collaborative effort launched during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Sustainable Coastal Cities Symposium, an APEC-sponsored symposium held from 24 to 26 November 2021. Our goal is to address the challenges that coastal cities face due to their large population load, climate change, and sea level rise. With coastal regions representing 20% of Earth’s surface, it is crucial to find sustainable solutions. To achieve this, we are focusing on three key strategies outlined by the Malaysia Smart City Framework: smart economy, smart environment, and smart government.
