Science Culture Construction as a New Paradigm to foster innovation and green development
Introduction
The Andean Road Countries for Science and Technology (ARCST) proposes Science Culture Construction as a transformative framework for fostering international collaboration and advancing sustainable development. This paradigm emphasizes the integration of scientific knowledge, technological innovation, and cultural exchange to address global challenges, particularly those related to environmental sustainability and equitable progress. By strengthening science literacy, facilitating knowledge-sharing networks, and promoting cross-sector partnerships, ARCST seeks to build a resilient and forward-thinking scientific ecosystem that serves both Latin America and the global community.
Historical Context: The Need for a New Approach
The idea of Science Culture Construction emerged from a pressing need to bridge gaps in scientific collaboration, education, and policy implementation. Since the launch of the Declaration on Science and Climate Literacy in 2021, ARCST has worked with universities, research institutions, and policymakers to advance scientific literacy and public engagement with science. However, traditional models of international cooperation have often been fragmented, short-term, or overly dependent on economic factors, limiting their long-term impact.
In response, ARCST developed this new paradigm—one that prioritizes knowledge as a shared resource rather than a competitive asset. Science Culture Construction offers a holistic and inclusive model for sustainable development by fostering open-access research, community-driven innovation, and science diplomacy. The approach has gained traction across multiple regions, including Latin America, China, and Africa, where green development and technological integration are seen as key drivers of economic and social transformation.

Sofia is from Mexico and has been working to protect our planet since she was 7 years old. She realized that if everyone took small actions to take care of our natural world, it would have a huge impact. She started “Cococu'' a program that equips children with the knowledge to live in harmony with nature and speak up about issues they care about and encourages adults to take the children's perspective into account when making decisions.
索菲亚来自墨西哥，从她 7 岁开始就一直致力于保护我们的地球。她意识到，如果每个人都采取小行动来保护我们的自然世界，它会产生巨大的影响。她开始着力于“ Coco cu ”，一个让孩子们掌握与自然和谐相处的知识，说出他们关心的问题，并鼓励成人在做决定时考虑到孩子的观点的项目。
Sofia’s work has continued to make an impact. Now she is 12 and has helped to secure 30,000 acres of land to be designated as a protected area of Mexico, helping to protect the jaguar from extinction and its habitat.
索菲亚的工作继续产生影响。现在她12岁了，已经帮助保护了3万英亩的土地成为墨西哥的保护区，帮助美洲虎免于灭绝以及保护它们的栖息地。

The story of a 6 y/o
一个 6 岁男孩的故事
In 2018, when Licypriya was 6 years old, she went to a UN disaster conference in Mongolia with her father and knew she had to start raising awareness on the issue of climate change.
2018 年，当 Licypriya 6 岁的时候，她和她的父亲参加了蒙古的一个联合国灾难会议，她知道她必须开始提高对气候变化问题的认识。
Since then, Licypriya has repeatedly called for the climate crisis to be included in learning throughout India, by attending protests and writing letters. Her efforts have paid off - two Indian states now include teaching about the climate crisis in their school curriculums. What an amazing achievement! But she isn’t stopping there, now Licypriya is 9, and wants to tackle Delhi’s toxic air pollution levels.
从那时起， Licypriya 通过参加抗议活动和写信，多次呼吁将气候危机纳入整个印度的学习中去。她的努力得到了回报，印度的另外两个邦现在将气候危机的教育纳入了学校课程.多么惊人的成就！但是她并没有止步于此，现在 Licypriya 9 岁了，她开始解决德里有毒空气污染的问题。
