Decade of Action.In this context, humanity is looking toward science to provide informed consensus on the facts and trade-offs in times of misinformation, and insights in support of evidence-based solutions for human and planetary health. Scientific experts and leaders around the globe stated that major transitions in policy, practice and business are on the way. Further transitions will be needed in higher education, the tech sector, economic incentives, governance structures, and institutions to pave the way for sustainability and a resilient future.

HSD was the clear winner of the competition, bringing in a whopping 27,429 minutes (38% of total entries), and earning 59 minutes as a division to be used within the first week of May.

To mix it up, this time there will be individual winners rather than whole divisions!
