International science conference “Our Common Future under Climate Change”

The French National Research Agency is a partner of the major international science conference “Our Common Future under Climate Change” (CFCC15) which takes place on July 7-10, 2015 in Paris. The conference tables the latest thinking on managing climate change and avoiding its worst impacts.

With almost 2,000 academics from nearly 100 countries, Our Common Future under Climate Change (CFCC15) is the largest forum for the scientific community to come together ahead of the 21st UN Conference of the Parties (COP21) summit in Paris in December. During COP21, governments are expected to formalise a new global agreement to curb greenhouse gas emissions beyond 2020.

The four-day science meeting, held at UNESCO headquarters and Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris, updates latest knowledge on climate change and effects, as well as the different options societies have to respond.  CFCC15 also explores the latest scientific understanding of all dimensions of climate-change management, from sustainable economic models and social attitudes, to coastal protection projects and renewable innovation.

ANR organised its own side event to the major conference on July 6, at the Maison de la Chimie in Paris. Entitled “Coping with climate change / The contribution of collaborative research projects”, the event gathered more than 200 researchers and institutional representatives around issues related to impact, resilience, adaptation and reduction of greenhouse gases.
