Summary, in English

Science, technology and innovation (STI) are widely perceived as critical factors for sustainable development. The 2030 Agenda defined STI as the central means of sustainable development. The Sustainable Development Goal 17 has three targets that focus on technology transfer, and the United Nations Technology Facilitation Mechanism was launched to promote multi-stakeholder collaboration. While STI solutions hold the potential to accelerate the implementation of the SDGs, more efforts are necessary to reduce the widening STI gap between the Global North and South, to consider the broad and long-term consequences of STI solutions on society and planetary boundaries and to foster constructive interaction between STI and policy actors.
