"Translating Science into Public Knowledge"
6 June 2023: 9.30am - 12pm
Venue: Dewan Kuliah 3, Faculty of Science, Universiti Malaya and Online
Organised by Dept of Science and Technology Studies Faculty of Science UM & Centre For Civilisational Dialogue UM (UMCCD)
The language of SDGs and ESG has permeated organizational cultures in academia, industry and government though there remains limited understanding and significant action towards executing these ambitions. One challenge with the sustainability narrative is its reliance on environmental models that are poorly understood, as well as the wider political context related to sustainability standards and sustainability score cards. In this public forum, we discuss the impact of the sustainability narrative from an international perspective, and discuss opportunities for an inclusive dialogue on sustainability through community engagement and enculturation.
