Conference on “Future Generations, Climate, and Energy”

By Jean-Marc Jancovici.
Triolet Campus, Polytech Montpellier, Serge Peytavin lecture hall, building 31 – Place Eugène Bataillon, Montpellier.

COP25, which took place in December 2019, confirmed the slowdown in climate ambition. Despite two weeks of negotiations, countries failed to agree on raising their ambitions ahead of COP26 and defining the rules of the carbon market. However, the effects of climate change, particularly the increase in extreme weather events, are already evident and will intensify if nothing is done, according to the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Jean-Marc Jancovici, an engineer from the École Polytechnique, a world-renowned figure in the field of energy transition, one of the founding fathers of carbon footprinting, founding president of The Shift Project, and a member appointed by the French government to the High Council for Climate Action (HCAC), will explain the concept of carbon constraints, the challenges they pose in today's world, and the possible solutions available to us to meet current and future societal and environmental challenges.

The lecture will be given live by Mr. Jancovici in the Peytavin amphitheater (for those who register first, subject to availability) and broadcast live in rooms SC001 and SC002 (for the remaining audience).
