One of them is here!


Global Science Forum activities are proposed Global Science Forum activities are proposed by member delegations.by member delegations.

All Global Science Forum activities result in a publicly-available policy-level report containing findings and action recommendations for Governments, inter-governmental organisations, or the international scientific community.Reports of GSF go directly to the policy level of the Governments.
