“Pressing” in Chinese is 急迫 (jí pò).

Time or circumstances leave almost no room for delay.

救援工作必须马上开始，因为邻区的需求非常急迫。jiù yuán gōng zuò bì xū mǎ shàng kāi shǐ yīn wèi lín qū de xū qiú fēi cháng jí pò

When this adjective modifies a noun, it highlights pressure from limited time or circumstances, not merely that the matter is important.
