Language is more than a tool of communication; it is the architecture of progress. It defines how we understand our world, how we exchange ideas, and how we act. In the context of climate change, the most urgent challenge of our time, precision in language is essential. Without it, ambition risks dilution; with it, ambition becomes action.
The Frontier25 Climate Change Glossary has been developed to unify understanding, strengthen collaboration, and build a shared lexicon that drives measurable impact. It reflects Frontier25’s mission to move beyond pledges, translating intent into tangible outcomes, by equipping decision-makers, experts, and communicators with clarity and consistency.
Covering key global and regional concepts, from climate finance and decarbonisation to adaptation, resilience, and the circular economy, the glossary acts as a bridge between scientific complexity and actionable insight. It ensures that language no longer divides technical expertise from public discourse but connects them under a common purpose.
As part of Frontier25’s ongoing commitment to transparency and knowledge-sharing, the glossary will continue to evolve alongside the changing climate landscape. Updated regularly, it stands as a trusted reference point, empowering policymakers, academia, industry, and society to speak the same language of climate action.
