Bringing together experts, citizens, decision-makers, researchers, students and associations, private and public actors, ACT50 will be held at Ground Control, a location chosen specifically for its immersive experience.
A day to address these issues from three essential angles
- Better understanding to better prepare, in all areas, for the consequences of global warming now underway, while continuing to amplify decarbonization and better control our relationship with the environment and living things.
- Act concretely, on the ground, by adopting a local approach, in order to take into account territorial specificities and social issues.
- Involve citizens in all discussions, because success can only be collective. Three spaces for dialogue, exchange and debate:
- France, Europe, the World: better understand the issues linked to global warming and the erosion of biodiversity, to better identify possible solutions and opportunities.
- Let's think and act local: workshops and demonstrations where experts and local actors will highlight issues and concrete solutions to adapt their territory to the challenges of climate change.
- The agora: open to the general public, associations, students and schools, this space will be dedicated to citizen dialogue. Workshops, spaces for discussion on concrete themes.
