Statement by the G-7 Science Academies

Science Academies of G-7 Nations Call for Action to Reach Net-Zero Emissions, Reverse Declines in Biodiversity, and Improve Data-Sharing to Prepare for Future Health Emergencies

Science academies from the G-7 nations today issued three statements recommending that their governments take urgent action to build a net-zero emissions, climate-resilient future, reverse global declines in biodiversity, and improve data-sharing for future health emergencies.

The statements are intended to inform discussions during the G-7 summit in June to be held in the United Kingdom, as well as ongoing policymaking.

“Our shared future on the planet depends upon international cooperation, collaboration, and initiative on these critical issues,” said U.S. National Academy of Sciences President Marcia McNutt. “With science as their guide, G-7 nations can — and should — help lead the way toward a more resilient, sustainable world for us all.”
