Frontiers 2025: The Weight of Time

This report from the UN Environment Programme can help you to become familiar with emerging social and environmental issues before they escalate into regional or global crises. The report explores the reactivation of microbes (including pathogens) in a warming cryosphere; the removal of dams and other barriers for river restoration; significant (and looming) demographic and environmental shifts, particularly relating to the growing global population of persons aged 65 and older; and the remobilisation of legacy pollutions by flood events. It highlights key actions to avoid negative consequences, with key intersections relating to positive climate and nature initiatives. This resource will be most beneficial to sustainability and risk professionals.
