Lecture by Geosciences Montpellier and theGaïa Doctoral School.

Christine Lerrede’s research focuses on cyclostratigraphy, particularly the study of paleoclimatic cycles and their implications from the Mesozoic to the Quaternary. However, this lecture will focus primarily on her teaching activities, which encompass the study of the current climate, its mechanisms, and its evolution.

To mark Global Climate Action Day, we propose that she lay out the scientific foundations of global warming. Her presentation will be primarily scientific and educational.

She will therefore provide an update on the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), the advances in the latest forecasting models, and the various greenhouse gas emission scenarios, which will allow her to present the model outputs, including both the so-called optimistic and pessimistic forecasts.

To then open the discussion on the political and social aspects, she will present the latest findings that served as the basis for COP 24, as well as the positions taken by the various participating countries and those that have opted out.
