非国家行为者信息与参与会议 2026年10月7日 在科学信任度日益下降和卫生虚假信息广泛传播的背景下，世界卫生组织（WHO）民间社会委员会和WHO首席科学家办公室于2026年10月7日为非国家行为者举办了一次信息会议。约100名与会者探讨了民间社会如何在“携手为科学与健康”于11月10日正式启动之前，加强信任、支持证据的使用并拉近科学与社区的距离。该运动以2026年世界卫生日主题“携手为健康。与科学站在一起”为基础。 与社区共同构建的运动 WHO首席科学家Sylvie Briand博士介绍了“携手为科学与健康”，这是一项由WHO发起的全球运动，旨在塑造社会所需的科学，并加强证据在政策和决策中的使用。该运动以五项核心价值为指引：尊重、诚信、科学严谨、伦理责任和社会参与，聚焦于三个领域： 科学与社会：与社区共同构建值得信赖的科学； 科学与政策：为循证决策提供信息；以及 科学与传播：加强公共对话和反击虚假信息。 WHO充当催化剂和贡献者，而参与组织则帮助塑造和维持该运动。 通过社区参与建立信任 世界家庭医生组织（WONCA）主席Viviana Martínez-Bianchi博士描述了家庭医生如何将证据与日常决策联系起来。她说，信任通过持续的关系、倾听以及基于人们所处环境的沟通而增长，社区经验应当为研究和指南提供信息。 “我们的社区不能仅仅是科学的受众——他们需要成为合作伙伴，”她说。 约旦皇家健康意识协会主任、世界卫生组织民间社会组织委员会委员Amal Ireifij分享了在儿童免疫接种方面社区参与的经验教训。她强调了清晰的信息、实用的答案、强有力的伙伴关系以及对可信传播者的投入。“当这些不同形式的知识汇聚在一起时，证据就不仅仅是信息，它变成了行动，”她说。 国际计划生育联合会（IPPF）高级技术顾问、世界卫生组织民间社会组织委员会指导委员会委员Nihal Said强调，民间社会既产生证据也传播证据。她呼吁研究应纳入服务不足的社区、本土知识和性别视角，同时加大对伪科学和偏倚证据的行动力度。“我们不仅仅是数据收集的场所——我们是科学发现的合作伙伴，”她说。 行动的障碍与机遇 社区组织、专业协会、学术机构、产品开发伙伴关系和倡导网络分享了它们如何使用世界卫生组织（WHO）指南，并指出了本地行动的障碍。 障碍包括数据获取受限、证据要求不明确、社区项目支持分散以及跨学科联系薄弱。参与者还询问该运动将如何与现有民间社会和青年倡议、区域和国家努力以及更广泛的证据生态系统相衔接。 讨论强调了以下机会： 加强双向对话，使社区经验为研究、指南和沟通提供信息； 创建可获取、具有文化相关性、包含实用解释和答案的材料； 支持可信的传播者，如民间社会组织、卫生工作者、青年志愿者和地方领导人； 扩大对证据和科学进展的获取，并将服务不足的社区、妇女和一线卫生工作者纳入研究； 清楚地解释科学变化，使人们能够理解不确定性并评估各种主张；以及 通过伙伴关系、共享资源和对社区工作的支持来连接各项倡议并维持本地参与。 下一步 世界卫生组织首席科学家办公室的Gerardo Zamora介绍了在巴黎和日内瓦举办线下启动活动以及线上活动的计划。他强调，启动只是开始，该运动应建立在现有倡议的基础上并持续开展行动。“每一份行动都重要，”他说。“这场运动不会在11月10日结束。我们希望它能超越我们的工作，并在未来成为你们的事业。” 各组织可通过签署承诺宣言并填写隶属关系表来加入。阅读隶属关系公告。该运动将于2026年11月10日通过线下和线上活动在全球启动。查看启动信息。 欲了解更多信息，请访问“携手为科学与健康”网页或联系together@who.int

Non-State actors information and engagement session 7 October 2026 Amid growing mistrust in science and widespread health misinformation, the WHO Civil Society Commission and the WHO Chief Scientist’s Office held an information session for non-State actors on 7 October 2026. Around 100 participants explored how civil society can strengthen trust, support the use of evidence and bring science closer to communities ahead of the official launch of Together for Science and Health on 10 November. The movement builds on the 2026 World Health Day theme, “Together for health. Stand with science.” A movement built with communities Dr Sylvie Briand, WHO Chief Scientist, introduced Together for Science and Health, a WHO-initiated global movement that aims to shape the science that society needs and strengthen the use of evidence in policy and decision-making. Guided by five core values: respect, integrity, scientific rigour, ethical responsibility and social participation, the movement focuses on three areas: science and society: building trustworthy science with communities; science and policy: informing evidence-based decisions; and science and communication: strengthening public dialogue and countering misinformation. WHO serves as a catalyst and contributor, while participating organizations help to shape and sustain the movement. Building trust through community engagement Dr Viviana Martínez-Bianchi, President of the World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA), described how family physicians connect evidence with everyday decisions. She said trust grows through sustained relationships, listening and communication grounded in people’s circumstances, and that community experience should inform research and guidance. “Our communities cannot be just audiences for science – they need to be partners,” she said. Amal Ireifij, Director of the Royal Health Awareness Society in Jordan and a member of the WHO Civil Society Commission, shared lessons from community engagement on childhood immunization. She emphasized clear information, practical answers, strong partnerships and investment in trusted messengers. “When these different forms of knowledge come together, evidence becomes more than information, it becomes action,” she said. Nihal Said, Senior Technical Advisor at the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) and a member of the WHO Civil Society Commission Steering Committee, emphasized that civil society generates as well as communicates evidence. She called for research to include underserved communities, Indigenous knowledge and gender perspectives, alongside stronger action on pseudoscience and biased evidence. “We are not only sites for data collection – we are partners in scientific discovery,” she said. Barriers and opportunities for action Community organizations, professional associations, academic institutions, product development partnerships and advocacy networks shared how they use WHO guidance and identified barriers to local action. Barriers included limited access to data, unclear evidence requirements, fragmented support for community programmes and weak links across disciplines. Participants also asked how the movement would connect with existing civil society and youth initiatives, regional and national efforts, and the wider evidence ecosystem. The discussion highlighted opportunities to: strengthen two-way dialogue so community experience informs research, guidance and communication; create accessible, culturally relevant materials with practical explanations and answers; support trusted messengers such as civil society organizations, health workers, youth volunteers and local leaders; expand access to evidence and scientific advances and include underserved communities, women and frontline health workers in research; explain scientific change clearly so people can understand uncertainty and assess claims; and connect initiatives and sustain local participation through partnerships, shared resources and support for community work. Next Steps Gerardo Zamora, from the Office of the WHO Chief Scientist, outlined plans for in-person launch events in Paris and Geneva, alongside online activities. He stressed that the launch was only the beginning and that the movement should build on existing initiatives and sustain action. “Every action counts,” he said. “This movement will not end on 10 November. We hope that it will outlive our work and become yours in the future.” Organizations can join by endorsing the Declaration of Commitment and completing the affiliation form.
