EDITORIAL 2025 - IEFC wishes you a prosperous 2025
Susana Barreiro, President of IEFC
|
Last November ranked as the world’s second-warmest November on record after November 2023. If La Niña weather pattern forms in 2025 global temperatures could briefly cool, but this will not halt the warming trend or the occurrence of dangerous heatwaves, droughts, wildfires and tropical cyclones. Hence, climate change, biodiversity loss and sustainable development will remain critical challenges to be address in 2025, and for the foreseeable future. Last November also saw the 29th Conference of the Parties (COP29) take place in Baku, Azerbaijan. Carbon Markets were one of the key topics arising in the discussions, with a clear mandate to align with science to improve the accuracy in carbon accounting for trading purposes and enhance overall transparency. More than ever, Science and Policy interactions must be strengthened, as highlighted in the IUFRO2024 world congress conclusions.
