This pivotal panel discussion, hosted by Frontiers and the Frontiers Research Foundation, in collaboration with the UN Climate Change Global Innovation Hub. The panel, titled “Bridging the Gap: The Role of Science and Policy in Addressing Global Challenges,” covered three key themes: the critical role of science in overcoming climate inaction, the importance of access to and trust in science for effective climate hashtag policy, and how the COP process can bridge the gap between science and global policy action.
The session was moderated by Stephan Kuster, Head of External Affairs at Frontiers. The agenda featured a distinguished panel, including Salvatore Arico, CEO of the International Science Council; Marcelo Mena, CEO of the Global Methane Hub; Jason Rohr, University of Notre Dame and International Champion of the Frontiers Planet Prize (virtual); Prof. Phoebe Koundouri, President, World Council of Environmental and Resource Economists Associations; Chair, SDSN Global Climate Hub; Director AE4RIA and Chief Editor of Frontiers in Environmental Economics; and Laia Barbarà, Acting Head of Climate Strategy at the World Economic Forum.
