Antonio Camacho, professor and researcher at the University of Valencia: "The most urgent thing right now is to drastically reduce emissions"

Professor Antonio Camacho, a researcher at the Cavanilles Institute of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Valencia, is one of the most prominent figures in the field nationally, in Europe, and worldwide. Camacho is a member of the European Academy of Sciences, an institution that brings together some of the world's most influential researchers, including Nobel laureates, as well as a member of the European Federation of Water Sciences and president of the Albufera Scientific Commission, among other positions.

Climate Day

In the context of World Climate Day, celebrated this Thursday, the scientist discusses on the radio program "Más de Uno Valencia" the key role of science today, as well as investment in research and the main climate challenge, which, according to Camacho, is "drastically reducing emissions."

"Scientists don't play politics."

"There is no scientific doubt that we have accelerated climate change caused by human activity. And, although there have always been climate changes, what some politicians don't quite understand is that this has never happened so rapidly, so the planet's capacity to respond quickly has never been tested," states the professor, emphasizing that "it's not a matter of ideologies, but rather that we must solve a very serious problem if we want to continue living on this planet."

European Academy of Sciences

The European Academy of Sciences (EURASC) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization comprised of distinguished scientific researchers and engineers, leaders in their fields, committed to promoting research and development in science and technology, as well as social and economic progress and environmental sustainability.
