Thanks to science, we have never lived longer, healthier lives than we do today – but the challenges we face have never been greater or more complex. Hear from previous Frontiers Forum speakers on science-led solutions for issues ranging from healthspans to COVID-19, economics to genomics, and ecological restoration to sustainable agriculture.
Dr Eric Dinerstein explores next steps in the habitat conservation of rare and threatened species as part of a larger global biodiversity strategy to counteract the ongoing sixth mass extinction driven by human activities.
Prof Mat Collins explores expected climate hazards in different parts of the world, and how to move from assessing these to effective mitigation and adaptation actions.
Prof Drew Shindell explores why methane emissions are rising faster than projected, what this means for climate targets, and cost-effective strategies for methane mitigation.
Prof Michel Goldman explores how interdisciplinary innovations in drug development, personalized care, modeling, and more are driving the future of medicine.
Prof Thomas Crowther explores how thriving natural habitats are improving local livelihoods while addressing the twin crises of biodiversity loss and climate change.
Dr Kari Nadeau and colleagues explored links between climate change and immune dysregulation, and solutions for reducing climate-related impacts on human health.
Prof Marc Struelens and colleagues explored the power of pathogen genomic data for informing public health responses and treatments to protect the world against the next pandemic.
Dr Eric Topol, in conversation with Vivienne Parry OBE explored the how AI will shape the future of healthcare – from medical forecasting technologies to doctor-patient relationships to bridging gaps in health equality.
Dr Luca Brocca and colleagues explored the groundbreaking Digital Twin Earth Hydrology Platform, how it can enhance flood and landslide prediction and optimize water resource management in the face of climate change.
Prof Yoram Vodovotz and colleagues explored explored links among stress, inflammation, cognition, and behavior—and how these may spread and scale, with potentially far-reaching consequences.
Prof Carlos Duarte and colleagues explored the key results from breakthrough "KMAP Global Ocean Gene Catalog 1.0" and its implications for sustainable value generation from the blue economy.
Prof Martin Siegert and colleagues discussed the amount of temperature change we can expect after CO₂ emissions from human activities reach net zero, and how this can be built into climate models.
