Latest news outlooks
Pedro Jaureguiberry ,the National Nominee of Argentina to the 2024 edition of the Frontiers Planet Prize, shares insights on his groundbreaking research on the loss of biodiversity.
The Frontiers Planet Prize celebrates breakthroughs in Earth system and planetary science that address the environmental challenges that humanity is facing and enable society to stay within our planet's safe ecological boundaries. The second edition of the Prize, announced on Earth Day 2024, honors 23 pioneering scientists as National Champions whose research has significant potential in fostering pathways to solutions, through driving systemic change toward a more sustainable future.
The Frontiers Research Foundation is an official sponsor of INGSA 2024: The Transformation Imperative, the fifth international conference of the International Network for Governmental Science Advice (INGSA) which will be held. 30 April – 3 May 2024 in Kigali, Rwanda. The conference will focus on transformation, expanded evidence, and inclusion within the iterative and dynamic process of science advice.
The Frontiers Research Foundation has launched the Frontiers Planet Prize
with the ambition to accelerate scientific solutions for healthy lives on a healthy planet.
We are confronted with an environmental crisis on a planetary scale, creating a threat for humanity. Even though human activity that is destabilizing the global ecosystem is a more serious threat to life on the planet and a far more challenging problem to solve than the COVID-19 pandemic, we should learn from how hard the world fought the pandemic - successfully align on declaring a global state of emergency, triggering a race for technological solutions, and implement science-based global policies that bring about the needed behavioral changes.
The ambition of the Frontiers Planet Prize is to directly address the planetary crisis, by mobilizing scientists engaged in breakthrough research, with the greatest potential to stabilize the planet’s ecosystem.
Only inspired science, technological breakthroughs and widespread global action can spark off a green renaissance at the scale required.
