Geneva, Switzerland – The United Nations Committee of Academicians (UNCA) today issued a global appeal, urging researchers, scientists, and innovators to intensify efforts in environmental protection, carbon neutrality, and new energy technologies to secure a sustainable future for all.

In a statement released ahead of the upcoming UN Climate Action Summit 2025, the Committee emphasized the critical role of scientific breakthroughs in addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and energy transition.

Key Areas for Global Research Focus

1. 1. Environmental Protection & Restoration
• • Development of advanced pollution control and waste management technologies.
• • Innovations in ecosystem restoration, including AI-assisted reforestation and ocean cleanup.
2. 2. Carbon Neutrality & Emission Reduction
• • Accelerating carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) solutions.
• • Sustainable urban planning and green infrastructure development.
3. 3. Renewable & Next-Generation Energy
• • Breakthroughs in solar, wind, and hydrogen energy efficiency.
• • Next-gen nuclear fusion and energy storage systems for global scalability.

UNCA’s Commitment to Supporting Researchers

• • Funding & Collaboration: Expanded grants for climate-related research via the UN Sustainable Innovation Fund.
• • Policy Influence: Direct engagement with governments to fast-track green technology adoption.
• • Global Knowledge Hub: A new open-access platform for sharing environmental research data.

A Call to Action

“The climate crisis cannot wait—scientists worldwide must unite to deliver solutions at scale,” said Dr. Elena Vasquez, UNCA Chair. “From lab to policy, every discovery brings us closer to a carbon-neutral future.”
