Save
the climate

Scientific analyses, rational solutions.

Together, let us contribute to proactive,
effective policies to fight global warming.

OUR MISSION

Sauvons le Climat (Save the Climate) is an independent association created in 2004 under the French law of 1901 whose aim is to produce, share and promote scientific and rational analyses for leaders, decision-makers and the general public, so that they can draw up and implement rational, proactive and effective policies to fight global warming.

BIOMASS AND CLIMATE

October 8 to 11 2024 at Amnéville (Moselle)

In the fight against global warming, biomass is often presented as one of the means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Timber, heat, various materials derived from biomass, biomass as a carbon sink.... these are just some of the facets of biomass that will be discussed at this SLC Summer University.

As part of the Fête de la Science 2024, in partnership with the CentraleSupelec engineering school in Metz, a conference for the general public will be held on the school campus.

Germany Has Completed Its Nuclear Power Phase Out

For some, this is a victory, but it is not one for the climate

It is all done; after a long journey that began in the early 2000s and was accelerated following the Fukushima accident, Germany has just shut down its last nuclear reactors[1]. It has thus achieved its ambition to move away from nuclear power. For some, this is welcome, for others much less so.

The IPCC has determined that carbon neutrality will have to be reached in the second half of the 21st century if the climate objectives of the Paris Agreement are to be met. A variety of countries, cities, companies... have announced that they are going to achieve carbon neutrality, some of them well before the critical date. But are their "carbon neutrality" and that of the IPCC the same thing? Nothing is less certain.
