The International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development was proclaimed by the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly 2 December 2021 for 2022, stressing that the applications of basic sciences are vital for advances in medicine, industry, agriculture, water resources, energy planning, environment, communications and culture, and that basic sciences rupture technologies respond to the needs of humankind by providing access to information and increasing societal well-being, and promoting peace through improved collaboration toward Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) and 28 other science unions and organizations constituted a Steering Committee, chaired by Michel Spiro with vice chair Jean Trần Thanh Vân, which goal from 2017 was to promote the proclamation by the United Nations General Assembly of 2022 as the International Year for Basic Science for Sustainable Development.
Over 80 other organizations, among them many national science academies and their networks, are also supporting the initiative.
UNESCO will act as the lead agency and focal point for the Year. The programme for the Year will be developed in collaboration with other relevant entities of the United Nations system, IUPAP, CERN, and their associated organizations and federations across the world.
