While the climate crisis accelerates, finding integrated solutions is more urgent than ever. This press conference will showcase how geoscience and social science are converging to transform climate policies and strategies for a sustainable future. Key topics will include the impact of global catastrophes on food trade, public preferences for nature-based climate solutions, and updated IPCC emissions scenarios that reveal the stark reality of failing to limit warming to 1.5°C. Discover how innovative, science-driven policy actions can not only mitigate climate impacts but also empower communities to adapt, helping shape the future of climate solutions on a global scale. Join us for an eye-opening discussion on how collaborative research can drive meaningful change in climate policy.
