LAUNCHING SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY BOARD, BAN URGES BRIDGING GAP BETWEEN
SCIENCE, POLICYNew York, Jan 30 2014 1:00PMThe United Nations must
use science and technology to strengthen its policy-making on
sustainable development, reducing inequality and eradicating extreme
poverty, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today said launching his
advisory board of scientists.

"For too long we have sought to burn and consume our way to
prosperity. That model is unsustainable," Mr. Ban said in
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=7439">remarks at the
inaugural meeting of the Scientific Advisory Board in Berlin.

Composed of 26 eminent scientists in varied natural, social and human
disciplines, the Board is meant to strengthen ties between the UN and
the global scientific community so that science can be more
effectively integrated in policy-making processes.

"We have entered a new era, which has been given the name
'Anthropocene,'" he said, referring to a newly coined term for the
current geologic epoch defined by humans' impact on the planet.

"We need science to understand our environment, to protect it and use
it wisely," he noted, adding that science is also needed to tackle
hunger and food security, growing inequalities, disaster prevention,
urbanization, sanitation and sustainable energy for all.

The launch of the Board, whose Secretariat is within the UN
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), comes as
Mr. Ban is pushing to catalyse action and strengthen political will
towards a global legal climate agreement by the end of 2015.

Ahead of those discussions, Mr. Ban will host a climate summit on 23
September at UN Headquarters in New York for global leaders from
Government, business, finance, and civil society.

Environmental sustainability is one of the eight anti-poverty targets
known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The international
community is currently in the 700 day countdown to the deadline for
achieving those targets and amidst defining a post-2015 development
agenda.

While in Germany, Mr. Ban will address the 50th Munich Security
Conference where he will stress that global security ultimately
depends on sustainable development.

Earlier today, he met with
<"http://www.un.org/sg/offthecuff/index.asp?nid=3280">Interior
Minister Thomas de Maizière, Economic and Cooperation Development
Minister Gerd Müller, and Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

In a <"http://www.un.org/sg/offthecuff/index.asp?nid=3281">press
conference alongside Mr. Steinmeier, the Secretary-General highlighted
Germany's role in the peaceful settlement of disputes, peacebuilding
and disarmament, enhancing respect for human rights, and support for
international development efforts.

He is also due to meet with Federal President Joachim Gauck and
Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel.

He will travel to Bonn tomorrow to meet with UN staff members and
local authorities.Jan 30 2014 1:00PM
