19th International Weather and Climate Forum, 14-17 May 2022

Faced with the stakes of climate change, it is important to educate and to give the keys for action. It is one of the most important mission of the International Weather and Climate Forum, which is dedicated to share the knowledge of climate and atmospheric sciences. More than 30 years ago, the scientific community was already warning about the consequences of climate evolution and was calling for action towards the decrease in carbon emissions.

2022 is an important year for the climate with the conjunction of both the release of the 6th report of the IPCC and the perspectives of the COP 26 in Glasgow. The International Weather and Climate Forum will then offer an unique occasion to communicate and exchange about these challenges. We can not conceive our future anymore without societal deliberation and acknowledging this “ecological transition” which also include the preservation of biodiversity. We have to act now if we want to insure to the younger generations a climate that they’ll be able to adapt to, a climate that they’ll be able to adapt to at least for most of it. The programmation of the 19th edition of the IWCF falls within this context of emergency.
