Climate change: beyond the climate

(Available in French only)

Description

Our new temporary exhibition Ça Chauffe ! Cool it explores the impact of climate change on health, and invites us to reflect on our role in combating this upheaval, and our ability to take action. To do so, we need to examine a wide range of ecological, economic, political and other issues.

To mark Anti-Disinformation Week, we invite you to take part in a panel discussion with experts from a variety of fields. Laure Waridel, ecosociologist; François Reeves, cardiologist; and François Delorme, economist, will share their perspectives on current challenges and discuss ways of fostering dialogue between these issues to encourage a real transition to action.
