Environmental sustainability efforts require a great deal of
engagement and political will, ranging from local communities to
state departments. Science diplomats-from experts and scientists to
spokespersons and ambassadors-can help facilitate at all levels and
yield valued resources from technology sharing, capacity building,
and knowledge exchanges. This book explores the importance of
sustained international scientific cooperation, building community
resilience, and the role of political will in sustainability and
diplomacy. It shows how even small diplomatic efforts can influence
myriad issues, from overfishing to human rights negotiations to
global carbon emission reduction. Features: * Examines various
topics such as global climate change, arid environments, water
security and governance, trans-boundary conflict and cooperation,
urban and rural resilience, and public health. * Presents case
studies from various geographic regions through the lens of
diplomacy, including the US-Mexico border, the Gulf of California,
South America, Europe, the Middle East, Central and South Asia, and
China. * Discusses how building networks of people, organizations,
and countries engaged in science diplomacy is crucial for mutual
growth and for overcoming conflicting political stances.
Sustainable Development for the Americas: Science, Health and
Engineering Policy and Diplomacy provides a useful resource for
diplomats, policymakers, students, and decision-makers. It provides
numerous examples of how using science and technology for policy
and diplomacy is essential to finding common ground among nations
for a collective global benefit.
