Washington, D.C. – March 12, 2025 – Paolo von Schirach, President of the Global Policy Institute and Professor of Political Science at Bay Atlantic University, presents a thought-provoking analysis of the outcomes of COP 29 in his latest article, “Green Economy Tomorrow, Climate Adaptation Now.”
The piece critically examines the global community’s efforts toward decarbonization and the increasing necessity of climate adaptation strategies.
Key Takeaways from the Article:
The Reality of the Green Transition:
Despite ambitious global commitments, the shift to a fully green economy remains out of reach in the next decade.
Even the European Union, a leader in sustainability, still relies on fossil fuels for 80% of its energy.
The Urgency of Climate Adaptation:
While emissions reduction is essential, adaptation measures such as urban vertical farming, coastal defenses, and advanced nuclear technology are vital to mitigating the immediate impacts of climate change.
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) as a Viable Solution:
The article highlights the potential of SMRs in delivering cost-effective, emissions-free energy, circumventing the financial and bureaucratic hurdles of traditional nuclear power.
Economic Stability as the Foundation for Climate Action:
Von Schirach argues that only strong, innovative economies can sustain investments in adaptation technologies and green energy solutions.
The Path Forward
Von Schirach challenges policymakers and industry leaders to balance environmental ambitions with pragmatic solutions.
He advocates for increased funding in adaptation strategies that leverage technological innovation while maintaining economic stability.
