DESCRIPTION:\n	(UNESCO 31 C/Resolution 20)\n\n\n\n	Celebrated every 10 N
	ovember\, World Science Day for Peace and Development highlights the signi
	ficant role of science in society and the need to engage the wider public 
	in debates on emerging scientific issues. It also underlines the importanc
	e and relevance of science in our daily lives.\n\n\n\n	By linking science 
	more closely with society\, World Science Day for Peace and Development ai
	ms to ensure that citizens are kept informed of developments in science. I
	t also underscores the role scientists play in broadening our understandin
	g of the remarkable\, fragile planet we call home and in making our societ
	ies more sustainable.\n\n\n\n	The Day offers the opportunity to mobilize a
	ll actors around the topic of science for peace and development – from g
	overnment officials to the media to school pupils. UNESCO strongly encoura
	ges all to join in celebrating World Science Day for Peace and Development
	 by organizing your own event or activity on the day.\n\n\n\n	 \n\n\n\n	B
	asic Sciences for Sustainable Development\n\n	‘The applications of basic
	 sciences are vital for advances in medicine\, industry\, agriculture\, wa
	ter resources\, energy planning\, environment\, communications and culture
	’\, affirmed the United Nations General Assembly on 2 December 2021\, wh
	en it endorsed the proposal for an International Year of Basic Sciences fo
	r Sustainable Development. World Science Day is contributing to the Year i
	n 2022 by celebrating this theme.\n\n\n\n	‘We need more basic science to
	 achieve The 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals’\, the
	 United Nations General Assembly noted in December 2021. It is true that t
	he share of domestic research expenditure devoted to basic sciences varies
	 widely from one country to another. According to data from the UNESCO Sci
	ence Report 2021 for 86 countries\, some devote less than 10% of their res
	earch expenditure to basic sciences and others more than 30%.\n\n\n\n	Havi
	ng a capacity in basic sciences is in the interests of both developed and 
	developing countries\, given the potential for applications to foster sust
	ainable development and raise standards of living. For example\, a growing
	 number of people around the world suffer from diabetes. Thanks to laborat
	ory studies of the ways in which genes can be manipulated to make specific
	 protein molecules\, scientists are able to genetically engineer a common 
	bacterium\, Escherichia coli\, to produce synthetic human insulin.\n\n\n\n
