International Science Council (ISC)

2025 was a year that tested science's place in the world. International Science Council's CEO, Salvatore Aricò, reflects on the year's achievements and the responsibilities of science in a changing world.

At the United Nations STI Forum, the ISC's Pacific delegation called for international mechanisms that can identify, validate, and adequately resource locally led adaptation solutions already demonstrating resilience against sea-level rise across Pacific communities.
