Leveraging Science, Technology, and Innovation for Climate Solutions: Enhancing International Collaboration for a Sustainable Future

This event will unite stakeholders from various sectors to explore how science, technology, and innovation, including nuclear technology, can enhance global climate efforts across mitigation, adaptation, and monitoring. With current policies projected to lead to global warming of 2.8°C, significantly exceeding the Paris Agreement's target, the need for rapid transformation toward net-zero emissions is urgent. By showcasing advanced technologies—from resilient crop development and pollution monitoring to disease control—the event emphasizes the potential of international collaboration and increased support for R&D. Key objectives include strengthening data access, boosting international cooperation, expanding R&D capacity, and mobilizing public-private funding for impactful climate solutions.
