COP21, the 21st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, will soon begin in Paris. The challenge is enormous: reach a universal climate agreement to limit human-induced climate change.
In this context, and despite the tragic recent attacks, many events are planned in Paris and everywhere in France to inform and increase awareness among citizens about climate issues. APECS-France will be in Paris to carry out its mandate of educating about polar research.
APECS-France will participate in the 11th Conference of Youth (COY11), three days of conferences and workshops dedicated to young people from November 26th to 28th. Activities organized and facilitated by APECS-France will include scientific talks, quizzes, and workshops to help people discover all the research led by young polar researchers and better understand the vital role of Polar Regions in the global climate system.
APECS-France will also participate to four round-table discussions about Arctic research during a 2-days event co-organized with Tara. Tara Expeditions is famous for the Tara schooner drift in the Arctic sea ice.
APECS-France will work with SCAR at the booth of the International Cryosphere Climate Initiative (ICCI) at the Nordic Pavilion of COP21 to represent APECS, to communicate about Polar Research and Polar Research Outreach.
