摘要
Science diplomacy is an international, interdisciplinary and inclusive (holistic) process, involving informed decisionmaking to balance national interests and common interests for the benefit of all on Earth across generations. Informed decisions operate across a 'continuum of urgencies', which extends from security to sustainability time scales for peoples, nations and our world. The COVID-19 pandemic is the 'most challenging crisis we have faced since the Second World War', as noted in March 2020 by UN Secretary- General Antonio Guterres, when survival is once again a common interest at local-global levels. This essay introduces common-interest-building strategies with science diplomacy to operate short term to long term, before-through-after the 'inflection point' of our global pandemic, as the next step in the evolution of our globally interconnected civilisation.
