KEY RESEARCH PRIORITIES FOR STI FOR THE SDGS The committee proposes the following key priorities for research to operationalize sustainable development in the area of STI cooperation: • Examine the current status of achieving the SDGs in the United States and what resources and actions are needed to advance the SDGs in the context of the economic crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and geopolitical conflicts, building on the SDGs Report by UN Development Programme (2022c)
From page 57...
... The committee identifies the following possible actionable steps to operationalize sustainable development in the areas of STI for the SDGs: • Governments, international organizations, nongovernmental organiza tions, the private sector, and scientific communities could discuss a new vision for a sustainable and resilient future beyond the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, because the world is not on track to achieve the original 2015 targets by 2030. • Governments, the private sector, and nongovernmental organizations could look to all sectors (not just national governments)
