What Initiatives has the UN Launched in Nanotechnology?
The UN has initiated several programs and collaborations to advance the responsible development of nanotechnology:
UNESCO's Nanotechnology Initiative: Aimed at promoting education and research in nanotechnology, particularly in developing countries, to bridge the global knowledge gap. UNEP's Nanomaterials Programme: Focuses on assessing the environmental impact of nanomaterials and developing guidelines for their safe use. International Dialogue on Responsible Research and Development of Nanotechnology: A platform for stakeholders to discuss and address ethical, legal, and social implications of nanotechnology.
