I am here in Paris at the UNESCO General Assembly. UNESCO is known for its world heritage sites, but it also focuses on global soft powers like culture, art, heritage, education, and science. I am advocating for the safety of scientists worldwide who are being threatened and intimidated, preventing them from freely expressing their scientific opinions, even if they are uncomfortable. This jeopardizes the working environment for scientists everywhere. We are working together to address this issue by establishing reporting mechanisms, clear rules, and fostering communication between universities and research institutions responsible for their safety. UNESCO has a crucial role in this mission because if we cannot amplify the voice of science, society as a whole will suffer, not just in the Netherlands, but worldwide. It is an important task to deliver this message from the Netherlands to the world here in Paris.
