Under the leadership of which academy was the Joint S20 Statement of 2026, endorsed by INSA, released?
- A.The Royal Society
- B.The U.S. National Academy of Sciences
- C.The Chinese Academy of Sciences
- D.The Indian National Science Academy
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, which led the Science20 engagement process in 2026 and under whose leadership the Joint S20 Statement was released on 10 November 2026. Option A is wrong because the Royal Society takes over the leadership of the S20 process only in 2027, a point worth noting separately for the examination. Option C is wrong because that academy was not named as the leader of this cycle, though academies from across the G20 nations contributed to the text through consultation. Option D is wrong because the Indian National Science Academy was a participant and an endorser of the statement, not its convenor; it is India's national science academy and an institution of the Department of Science and Technology. The statement itself deals with harnessing advanced technology for preparedness against natural hazards, and it will be placed before the G20 ahead of the summit at Miami, Florida.
