Science, Technology, And Innovation (sti) In Territorial Collaborative Laboratories Can Help Achieve The Nationally Determined Contributions (ndc) And Sustainable Development Goals (sdg) Targets In G20 Countries

Collaboration for development is at the core of the G20’s previous initiatives to ensure social, economic, and environmental well-being. Territorialized collaborative laboratories are spaces where academic, community, and socio-technical operation and management networks come together to co-create and experiment with local solutions to complex problems. In G20 developing countries, this knowledge ecologies and innovations are extremely relevant facing complex Anthropocene challenges such as hunger, poverty, and inequality within the framework of sustainable development and decarbonization. It provides theoretical, methodological, and practical guidance, alongside society in a shared governance, to develop and implement the 2030 Agenda in line with the UN Technology Facilitation Mechanism (TFM) framework, which links territory, the knowledge ecologies and the use of social technologies. In this sense, this Policy Brief will highlight that territorialized collaborative laboratories can amplify and speed up the G20 countries’ efforts to transition towards the proposed Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of the Paris Agreement, aligning with the principles of the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals. It will call for the participation of the G20 in those initiatives through its national capacities, STI global governance, and funding. Key-words: Global Scientific Governance, Vulnerable Populations, Inclusion, Equitable Societies.
