French language launch taking place on 28 November 2024
On 28 October, the English language version of the annual climate science synthesis report was launched by a consortium of globally renowned social, natural and climate scientists. “This report confirms that the world faces planetary scale challenges, from the rise of methane emissions to the vulnerability of critical infrastructure. It shows that rising heat, ocean instability and a tipping of the Amazon Rainforest could push parts of our planet beyond habitable limits. Yet, it also provides clear pathways and solutions, demonstrating that with urgent, decisive action, we still can avoid unmanageable outcomes,” said Prof. Johan Rockström, co-chair of The Earth League.
Ahead of COP29, scientists are once again supporting policymakers and leaders with scientific insights that have clear policy implications for developing comprehensive mitigation and adaptation strategies. The report urges policymakers at COP29 to reflect on these insights in updating the submissions of their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) (due in early 2025), and drive attention to them within negotiations, including on the pivotal issues of climate finance.
Directly after COP29 on 28 November at 15:00, Future Earth Canada, Sustainability in the Digital Age and Leadership in Environmental and Digital innovation for Sustainability (LEADS), in collaboration with Concordia University, HEC Montréal, and the Next-Generation Cities Institute will launch the French language version of the report in Montréal with an interactive hybrid event featuring outstanding speakers.
Join us in person for the French-language launch followed by a networking cocktail, or online via Zoom! Learn more and RSVP (this event will take place in French) >
The ‘10 New Insights in Climate Science’ series, launched with the UNFCCC at the COPs since 2017, is a collaborative initiative of Future Earth, the Earth League and the World Climate Research Programme, synthesising the key recent developments in climate change research. This year’s report represents the collective efforts of more than 80 leading researchers from 45 countries. The French translation of the report titled “Les 10 nouvelles perspectives en sciences du climat 2024/2025” is provided by Sustainability in the Digital Age, Concordia University, Future Earth Canada and Leadership in Environmental and Digital innovation for Sustainability (LEADS) with the financial support of the Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ).
