The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming the Year on 2 December 2021.

The Year helps highlight the crucial role of basic sciences for sustainable development and emphasize their contributions to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Background

Basic sciences have an important contribution to make to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. They provide the essential means to meet crucial challenges such as universal access to food, energy, health coverage and communication technologies. They enable us to understand the impact of the currently nearly 8 billion people on the planet and to act to limit, and sometimes even to reduce it: depletion of the ozone layer, climate change, depletion of natural resources, extinction of living species.

The International Science Council is proud to support this International Year, organized under the leadership of the ISC Member International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP).
