Are you passionate about sustainability and climate issues? Are you looking for clear, concise and accessible resources on these topics in French?

Join us for a stimulating discussion with outstanding speakers on the importance of climate science accessibility and outreach in French.

At this event, we’ll be launching “Anthropocène,” a new online resource featuring short, sharp summaries in French of the most compelling research on climate and sustainability.

We’ll also discuss the challenges of creating, disseminating, translating and making discoverable scientific information that can accelerate progress towards a more sustainable future.

Join us and support science outreach in French!
