科学外交是一个国际、跨学科和包容性(整体)的进程，涉及明智的决策，以平衡国家利益和共同利益，造福于地球上世世代代的所有人。明智的决策跨越了一系列紧急情况，从安全到可持续发展，对各国人民、国家和我们的世界都是如此。正如联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯在2020年3月指出的那样，新冠肺炎疫情是自第二次世界大战以来我们面临的最具挑战性的危机，当时生存再次成为地方和全球层面的共同利益。这篇文章介绍了通过科学外交建立共同利益的战略，从短期到长期，在我们的全球大流行的“拐点”之前和之后运作，作为我们全球相互联系的文明进化的下一步。
Science diplomacy is an international, interdisciplinary and inclusive (holistic) process, involving informed decisionmaking to balance national interests and common interests for the benefit of all on Earth across generations. Informed decisions operate across a 'continuum of urgencies', which extends from security to sustainability time scales for peoples, nations and our world. The COVID-19 pandemic is the 'most challenging crisis we have faced since the Second World War', as noted in March 2020 by UN Secretary- General Antonio Guterres, when survival is once again a common interest at local-global levels. This essay introduces common-interest-building strategies with science diplomacy to operate short term to long term, before-through-after the 'inflection point' of our global pandemic, as the next step in the evolution of our globally interconnected civilisation.
