Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR) 2027  Independent Group of Scientists Appointed    The United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has appointed a new group of independent scientists to draft the 2027 Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR).   This will be the third in a series of quadrennial reports, following the 2019 and 2023 editions. It aims to strengthen the science-policy-society interface and serve as a robust, evidence-based tool to support policymakers in accelerating progress toward poverty eradication and sustainable development.  As mandated by UN Member States, this group and its report will inform the follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).   In connection with the high-level events at the United Nations in September 2027, this group is expected to launch the 2027 GSDR, providing scientific guidance on the state of global sustainable development, addressing emerging challenges, and offering actionable recommendations for governments and other stakeholders.  Following an extensive consultation process, the Secretary-General has appointed a diverse group of scientists representing a wide range of disciplines, expertise, and geographic backgrounds.   The group includes:  Phoebe Koundouri (Greece)– Co-chair; Professor, Athens University of Economics and Business & University of Cambridge, President World Council ENREA; Chair SDSN Global Climate Hub; Director AE4RIA  Adedoyin Adeleke (Nigeria) – Co-chair; Executive Director, Green Growth Africa Sustainability Network  Marianne Beisheim (Germany)– Senior Researcher, Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP)  Vanesa Castan Broto (Spain)– Professor of Climate Urbanism, University of Sheffield  Yensi Flores-Bueso (Honduras) – Postdoctoral Researcher, University College Cork  Sarah Cook (United Kingdom) – Professor, University of Nottingham Ningbo China  Hussam Hussein (Jordan) – Research Associate, University of Oxford  Mmaki Jantjies (South Africa) – Group Executive, Innovation and Transformation, Telkom South Africa  Sherif Kamel (Egypt) – Dean, Onsi Sawiris School of Business, American University in Cairo  Milica V. Matijević (Serbia) – Senior Research Associate, Institute of Comparative Law  Steven Ratuva (Fiji) – Director, Macmillan Brown Center for Pacific Studies, University of Canterbury  Fabio Veras Soares (Brazil) – Researcher, International Policy Centre for Inclusive Development  Eliane Ubalijoro (Rwanda) – CEO, The Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF); Director General, ICRAF  Taidong Zhou (China) – Vice President, Center for International Knowledge on Development    The group will be supported by a UN task team comprising six organizations: the United Nations Secretariat led by UNDESA, UNESCO, UNEP, UNDP, UNCTAD, and the World Bank. This team will coordinate inputs from a broad network of stakeholders, including the UN system, academia, civil society, and the private sector.  Building on the legacy of previous reports, "The Future is Now: Science for Achieving Sustainable Development" (2019) and Times of Crisis, Times of Change: Science for Accelerating Transformations to Sustainable Development (2023, the 2027 GSDR will be accessible to a wide range of stakeholders, including policymakers, business leaders, civil society organizations, and the general public.  For more information: https://sdgs.un.org/gsdr2027  Did you receive this from a friend?
