At the heart of climate change
In a context where climate change represents one of the greatest threats to our health in the 21st century,Ça chauffe! Cool it offers an approach that combines art and science to stimulate reflection and inspire action.
An overview without blame
Climate change often generates feelings of helplessness, sometimes even anxiety. As you enter this exhibition, explore the current state of affairs regarding the effects of climate change on the health of the planet and humans, and discover how taking action can bring peace of mind.
The keys to understanding climate change
In the first part of the exhibition, learn how human activity is responsible for the increase in greenhouse gases, the direct link to rising temperatures, and the impact on global health.
Towards action: fighting for global health
