Building the Foundations for Scientific Advice in the International Context Yasushi Sato, Hirokazu Koi, and Tateo Arimoto ODAY’S global society has an unprecedented need for proper and reliable Tscientific advice. That is because the contemporary world is facing a variety of issues—climate change, energy crises, food security, epidemics—in which science, technology, and society are tightly intertwined. To address these issues, appropriate mechanisms that bridge science and policy making must be established. At the same time, one must recognize that the globalization of the political economy in the past few decades has changed the modality of national borders in every aspect. As a result of these changes, scientific enterprise and relevant socioeconomic activities as well as public policies may have consequences on all parts of the world.1 Thus, scientific advisory systems today need to effectively function not only within individual countries but also in the international context. Some academic studies have addressed how science should be interlinked with policy and society in the global context. Based on the case of international Yasushi Sato is a fellow at the Center for Research and Development Strategy, Japan Science and Technology Agency.

  • Best Practices for SCOR National Committees
    Best Practices for SCOR National Committees The SCOR Executive Committee and Secretariat have compiled herein information about how different SCOR national committees carry out their duties. These provide guidance for all national SCOR committees. The SCOR Executive Committee and Secretariat recognize the rights and obligations of national SCOR committees to determine their own modes of operation. The comments of many national committees are used verbatim as submitted. Membership in National Committees Brazil—There are 3 members in Brazilian SCOR Committee. Membership is decided taking into account knowledge and geographic distribution. They do not rotate members regularly. Canada—The Canadian National Committee for SCOR is composed of 10 members, including the Chair, the immediate Past Chair, the Secretary, and 7 others. Members represent, as far as is feasible, the full range of ocean science disciplines associated with SCOR initiatives. Make-up of the membership also takes into account the need to represent gender, the bilingual nature of Canada, geographic distribution of scientists, and representation from government, universities and the private sector. The membership is augmented by ex-officio members representing a range of agencies and related programs; presently ex-officio members include representatives for GLOBEC, IMBER, IAPSO, CMOS and its Scientific Committee, DFO and the international SCOR Executive. New members are proposed by existing CNC/SCOR members and the community at large. Final selection of new members is through the CNC/SCOR Executive Committee (the Chair, Past-Chair and Secretary), taking into account the criteria noted above; the final selection is ratified by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). Members are appointed for a 3-year term that is renewable once, for a maximum of 6 years.

Until ~1900, all climate change was due to natural factors Have we been getting more energy from the sun? For the past 40 years, while Earth has been warming fastest, energy from the sun has been decreasing Over the past century, “natural factors” would have caused a slight cooling of Earth 2 11/13/2019 Best estimate: 100% of current warming is due to human activities Fossil fuel burning (CO2) Deforestation Is there any debate among scientists about whether humans are the primary cause of global warming? “Most of the global warming in recent decades can be attributed to human activities."

  • Interacademy Council
    InterAcademy Council 2007 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE IAC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The InterAcademy Council (IAC) in 2007 published its most ambitious report to date, identifying a scientific consensus for directing global energy development. Lighting the Way: Toward a Sustainable Energy Future lays out a science, technology, and policy roadmap for developing energy resources to drive economic growth in both developing and industrialized countries while also securing climate protection and global development goals. Measures of the success of this IAC energy report must ultimately involve the breadth and depth of attention given by government and industrial decisionmakers, the scientific and technological community, and the general public; and most importantly, ongoing follow-up actions pursued in every region of the globe. This requires the ongoing dedicated efforts of affiliated academies in all nations. A unique strength of the InterAcademy Council is that its reports have a globally prestigious advocacy and implementation constituency in the national academies of sciences, engineering, and medicine in over 90 countries. The global associations of these academies—the InterAcademy Panel (IAP) for International Issues, the International Council of Academies of Engineering and Technological Sciences (CAETS), and the InterAcademy Medical Panel (IAMP)—are fostering important academy advisory relationships with governments, industry, and other stakeholders. The InterAcademy Council and the world’s scientific, engineering, and medical academies, working together, have a great opportunity to bring together knowledge and problem-solving expertise to address the urgent challenges facing the world. During 2008, an urgent task for the InterAcademy Council and its partner academy organizations is to establish a more effective network for producing and disseminating critical information for the common good.

  • [Text Version] for the Sound Development of Science
    [Text version] For the Sound Development of Science -The Attitude of a Conscientious Scientist- Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Editing Committee “For the Sound Development of Science” Introduction Scientific research is an activity in which we, motivated by intellectual curiosity and a desire for exploration, seek to understand truths about various phenomena surrounding us, how they happen, what causes them to happen. Scientific research is advancing through an accumulation of effort made by many who came before us. Today, scientific results are indispensable to people’s lives, with science making extremely significant impacts on society, particularly over recent years. While proud of this fact, scientists also realize that it places upon them weighty responsibilities and expectations. Meanwhile, scientific research has unfortunately seen cases in which the “pursuit of truth,” science’s most inherent value, is to one degree or another neglected. Should these cases continue to occur, trust in science may be lost, threatening its sound advancement. Responsible scientists must, themselves, respond to these cases in appropriate ways: All scientists need to be perceptive of the true nature of scientific research and of the proper comportment of a principled investigator. They must also take proper care in guiding younger generations. This book compiles essential points on how people engaging in research in all fields from the humanities and social sciences to natural sciences (hereafter referred to as “scientists”) should conduct their research and communicate their results within the science community and to the larger society. To that end, the book begins with a section on “What Is a Responsible Research Activity?” Consisting of eight sections, it concludes with a section on “For the Progress of Society.” The book contains what one should know while engaged in research, including ethical considerations, code of conduct, methods of presenting research results, appropriate uses of research funds, and other points to bear in mind as a scientist.
