G-7 Science Academies Call for Actions to Improve Climate Change Decision-Making, Protect Ocean Biodiversity, and Support Well-Being of Older People

Today the science academies of the G-7 countries issued three joint statements to their respective governments to inform discussions during the G-7 summit to be held in Hiroshima, Japan, in May, as well as ongoing policymaking.

The statements, which were drawn up by the academies under the aegis of the Science Council of Japan, call for strategies to address systemic risks and improve decision-making related to climate change; restore and recover ocean biodiversity; and deliver better health and well-being for aging populations.
