Climate

From climate change to artificial intelligence in military decision-making, a new global assessment finds humanity faces a set of deeply interconnected risks with potentially irreversible consequences. The report calls for stronger, more coordinated global governance to safeguard a stable and prosperous future.

At the UN climate summit in Belém, the Earth Commission highlighted the urgent need to bring together science, justice, public engagement, and political will. With the Amazon nearing a dangerous tipping point, Commissioners and partners stressed that following the science and strengthening governance are essential for a safe and just future.

To address the climate and environmental crises, COP30 must move beyond siloed action. This is an important message from Earth Commissioner Steven Lade and colleagues.

The second-annual assessment shows pressures continuing to mount on climate, biodiversity, and ecosystems. But science-based solutions and efforts can still bring our planet back within safe limits.

Part of a record-diverse team of more than 600 global experts, Earth Commissioners will contribute their expertise to the UN’s most authoritative climate science assessment.
