The Prime Minister also stressed on the need for the
developing nations to voice their concerns "more forcefully"
in evolving scientific policies in areas like climate change
and biodiversity.
"The work done by the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate
Change and the International Union for Conservation of Nature
is of critical interest to us as the impact of climate change
is more devastating on the developing world," he said.
"As governments we are trying to create greater synergy
and coherence in policies among developing countries but these
efforts must be backed solid technical inputs," the Prime
Minister added.
The Academy could play a facilitating role in providing a
space for scientific collaboration in critical areas like
climate change.
Pointing out that the developing world was constrained by
lack of well-organised systems and critical mass of expertise
in its scientific establishments, Manmohan Singh emphasised on
the need for collaboration of scientific communities.
"The problems we cannot solve individually, perhaps we
can solve by working together. But each of our countries
should put science on a pedestal. We need to invest in science
and scientific infrastructure, in our schools and
laboratories," he added. PTI DBV
