Building public trust in science is paramount in ensuring the overall well-being of the global population. Tackling ongoing challenges, such as public health crises, disease prevention and treatment, and environmental health issues relies on public trust in the legitimacy of scientific research and the importance of public health authorities' recommendations. In turn, fostering trust requires that scientific institutions uphold transparency and accountability. Inadequate health literacy and the spread of false or misleading scientific information raise barriers to building trust, which leads to harmful outcomes, especially in marginalized and under-resourced communities. This session will highlight effective strategies from several sectors that can collectively develop solutions that rebuild and maintain trust in science, even in the face of growing skepticism and misinformation.
