Closing the gaps between science and policy, and policy with results - Has anyone ever faced this question? How do we make sure every country is able to take advantage of solutions that might otherwise be scaled up? I was so inspired by ESRI USER CONFERENCE 2026!!!! Can we agree not to leave our science be sitting on shelves (gathering dust), when it might be scaled up in other locations be improve lives and make a better world?
How do you think GIS can be better used to improve successful outcomes? I encourage readers to listen to a United Nations High Level Political Forum (HLPF) that took place in New York at the United Nations HQ about the same time as UC2026 was taking place on the west coast in San Diego.
Science Day 2026 It was a day for discussing progress with an open, honest conversation. Only 1 country in 3 of the 192+ countries participating in the 15 Sustainable Development Goals (2015-2030) are likely to achieve all 17 goals.
My question here is how can higher education (colleges and universities found in every country around the globe) best use evidence-based knowledge to help their countries achieve the best possible outcomes by 2030?
