On the second day (22/07/2025) of the World Academy of Art and Science WAAS@65 Conference, Prof. Phoebe Koundouri had the honour of chairing Panel 6A: Planetary Consensus for Addressing the Challenges of Climate Change. The panel explored comprehensive strategies to address the climate crisis within the broader context of interconnected global challenges, including biodiversity loss, rising inequality, fiscal constraints, and an evolving geopolitical landscape.

Prof. Koundouri presented the work of the SDSN Global Climate Hub, which provides governments with quantified, costed, and sectorally integrated transition pathways aimed at halving emissions by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. This work is grounded in advanced systems modelling, stakeholder co-design, and open-access digital platforms.
