WORLD SCIENCE DAY FOR PEACE AND DEVELOPMENT 2023.

World Science Day for Peace and Development is an annual tradition, commemorated on November 10, to celebrate how science promotes global peace and development. The many inventions and discoveries of scientists have helped to promote, amongst others, economic development, poverty reduction, literacy, and better nutrition for millions of people around the world. The idea for World Science Day for Peace and Development emerged from the 1999 World Conference on Science in Budapest, Hungary. The conference brought together scientists, policymakers, and other stakeholders to discuss the role of science in promoting peace and sustainable development. Since it's proclamation by UNESCO in 2001, World Science Day for Peace and Development has generated many concrete projects, programmes and funding for science around the world. The day has also helped foster cooperation between scientists living in regions marred by conflict - one example being the UNESCO - supported creation of the lsraeli - Palestinian Science Organization (IPSO). The first World Science Day for Peace and Development was celebrated worldwide on 10th November 2002 under UNESCO auspices. The theme for this year's World Science Day for Peace and Development 2023 is: "Building Trust in Science". The role of science in shaping our collective future can only be fulfilled when there is trust in science. It is trust in science that fuels the development and application of evidence based solutions to our world's multifaceted challenges.
