URBANA, Illinois — The United Nations recently released the 2024 Nationally Determined Contributions synthesis report, just weeks before presidents, global leaders, climate scientists and activists convened in Azerbaijan for the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP29.
The report reveals that current national climate plans are not sufficient.This is particularly alarming considering how many countries, including the United States, were negatively and economically impacted by climate change-associated disasters this year, including flooding, extreme heat, drought and pest outbreaks.
Financial investments in flooding research are necessary. These can come through governments' national science funding agencies.In the US, for example, the National Science Foundation, NOAA and the Department of Agriculture are big funders of research.
