Every year on 10 November, the world celebrates World Science Day for Peace and Development—a moment to recognise the vital contributions of science in fostering wellbeing, sustainability, and understanding among nations. The 2025 celebration reaffirms that all scientific communities share a collective responsibility to use evidence and innovation in supporting and promoting prace and sustainable development.
As part of this global effort, the International Union of Nutritional Sciences (IUNS) stands alongside the wider scientific community in advancing knowledge that directly supports these aims. Nutrition science plays a fundamental role in promoting health equity, strengthening food systems, and ensuring that sustainable diets are accessible to all.
This commitment was powerfully reflected at the 23rd International Congress of Nutrition (IUNS-ICN 2025), held in Paris under the theme “Sustainable Food for Global Health.” The Congress exemplified IUNS’s mission in action: bringing together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to exchange evidence, foster collaboration, and explore solutions linking human and planetary health.
On this World Science Day for Peace and Development, IUNS celebrates the spirit of global scientific cooperation and reaffirms its dedication to advancing nutrition science that benefits people and the planet alike. By working collectively—across disciplines and borders—we strengthen the foundation for a healthier, more peaceful, and more sustainable future.
