Abstract

Desde 2015, los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) 2030 han servido como objetivos comunes para alcanzar un futuro mejor en equilibrio con el planeta. Sin embargo, la falta de logros concluyentes a la fecha ha presentado a los gobiernos y a la comunidad científica un desafío urgente. Existe, por lo tanto, una necesidad apremiante de diseñar y gestionar políticas innovadoras que faciliten el cumplimiento de estas metas a través de la ciencia y el trabajo colaborativo. Como jóvenes científicos latinoamericanos, compartimos dificultades similares en cada uno de nuestros países; siendo i) la brecha de género en áreas STEM, y ii) la falta de conexión entre científicos, el gobierno y la sociedad, dos de las más transversales. Ambas obstaculizan significativamente el avance en el logro de los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible en América Latina y el Caribe (ALC). Este manifiesto es el resultado del Programa de Liderazgo Científico para América Latina y el Caribe de la Global Young Academy, donde 20 jóvenes científicos de ALC analizaron y concluyeron que es necesario visibilizar a las científicas, crear políticas innovadoras que promuevan su inclusión en la ciencia, y generar o consolidar redes colaborativas que faciliten la formación de mujeres en STEM. También es necesario promover diálogos de conocimiento con las comunidades y crear espacios para los científicos dentro del gobierno. Además, necesitamos apoyo para desarrollar actividades de diplomacia científica con el objetivo de articular ciencia, gobiernos y sociedad.
