On May 16, 2025, QRFE is hosting a timely workshop on “Challenges in Climate Change Modelling” with emphasis on the key responses from various sectors to tackle climate change.  

Addressing climate change, especially in today’s fast-paced world, requires coordinated efforts from various sectors: from governments with policies and regulations to guide and support sustainable practices, from corporations with their innovations to reduce their environmental impact, from climate scientists in providing robust scientific data and innovative solutions, and from market regulators in ensuring transparency and accountability, fostering a fair and competitive market environment.
