Global Warming: Talking About It to Take Action

The Montpellier Environmental Research Observatory is offering a series of short, multidisciplinary lectures aimed at raising awareness and fostering discussion on the issue of climate change.

The “OREME Mini-Lectures” are open to the public and highlight environmental, earth, and planetary sciences.

On Thursday, December 14, 2023, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. on the Triolet campus, the University of Montpellier will host the lecture “Climate Change: Let’s Talk About It So We Can Take Action!” It will be presented by Christine Leredde, a geophysicist and associate professor at the University of Montpellier.

The conference in a nutshell

After laying out the scientific basis of global warming, we will review the latest advances in climate prediction models as well as various greenhouse gas (GHG) emission scenarios. The presentation of model outputs, including so-called optimistic and pessimistic projections, will open the discussion on the political and social dimensions, particularly focusing on the choices made by the various participants at COP 27 (Conference of the Parties, Egypt, 2022).

Christine Leredde is an associate professor at the Géosciences Montpellier laboratory, part of the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Montpellier within the Earth, Water, and Environment Department. She is a geophysicist specializing in borehole measurements, particularly as applied to paleoclimatology.
