Conférence - Décarboner, Oui mais Comment ?

Global warming is largely due to the release into the atmosphere of carbon dioxide produced by human activities (industry, transport, heating, etc.). "Decarbonizing" our world therefore appears to be the main challenge facing us.

Jean-Pierre BIRAT began thinking about this issue as a research engineer in the steel industry, and it has occupied him almost full-time for the past thirty years. In the meantime, the CO2 content of the atmosphere has risen sharply, despite the warnings of scientists, which testifies to our great difficulty in decarbonizing our activities. Our speaker will share his personal experience of this problem over this long period.
For him, it's not technology alone that can save us, but more global approaches that call on the human and social sciences, far beyond those of engineering.
