WHO Launches Together for Science and Health Movement on November 10: More Than 240 Institutions Join to Rebuild Trust in Science
The World Health Organization on November 10, 2026, World Science Day for Peace and Development, launched Together for Science and Health, a global movement to strengthen trust in science, with releases datelined Geneva, Paris, Brazzaville and New Delhi. More than 240 organizations, researchers, policy-makers and community leaders are part of the movement, launched across 12 coordinated events.
The launch was led by WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and French President Emmanuel Macron, and is closely associated with the Paris Peace Forum. Its three focus areas are bringing science and society closer together, strengthening the use of evidence in health policy-making, and improving how science is communicated and discussed. Previewing the launch on November 4, WHO said misinformation has become a systemic public health risk that distorts decisions on vaccination, treatment, prevention and care.
