World Science Day for Peace and Development is celebrated on 10 November annually. The day highlights the significant role of science and society and the requirement to engage the public in debates on emerging scientific issues. It also emphasizes the importance and relevancy of science in our daily lives.



By connecting science more closely with society, World Science Day for Peace and Development aims to guarantee that citizens know about the developments in science. It also spotlights the role scientists play in dilating our understanding of the extraordinary, delicate planet we call home and making our societies more endurable.

The webinar will be held in three lanuages- English, French, and Spanish.



Theme 2022: Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development



On 2 December 2021, the United Nations General Assembly announced that the applications of standard sciences are critical for improvement in various fields such as agriculture, medicine, water resources, industry, environment, energy planning, communication, and culture. World Science Day for Peace and Development is contributing to the Year 2022 by celebrating this theme.



In December 2021, the United Nations General Assembly said we need more basic science to accomplish the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Indeed, the share of domestic research expenditure devoted to basic sciences differs widely from one nation to another. According to data from the UNESCO Science Report 2021 for 86 countries, some commit less than 10 percent of their research expense to basic sciences and others more than 30 percent.
