Dr Rob Jenkins, of the Department of Psychology at York, is a member of the executive committee of the Global Young Academy (GYA) which aims to empower and mobilise early career scholars to address issues of high importance to science and society.
The speech contained five recommendations which GYA say will bolster the UN’s ability to achieve the Post-2015 goals of sustainability and poverty reduction:
Dr Jenkins said: “Through the Global Young Academy, the SAB has the opportunity to reach out to, and cooperate with, younger scientists who are interested in policy dialogue. At the same time, the GYA gives these motivated young scientists the opportunity to develop competence and experience in policy advice from an early stage
“The SAB can play a crucial role in democratizing access to knowledge, building public trust, supporting the active partnership of scientists and civil society. When specific, substantive issues arise, the GYA can mobilize our network and identify appropriate researchers to contribute. Young scientists are ready to help.”
