Through data sculptures, manipulations based on scenarios developed by the Ecological Transition Agency (ADEME) as well as games, the public takes ownership of the different paths to achieving a carbon-free world.
It's time to act!The "Anticipating the future" lays the foundations of scientific knowledge on climate change due to GHG emissions of human origin. It addresses topics such as the greenhouse effect, disruption of biodiversity and rising sea levels. The "Energies and Resources" explores the intensive exploitation of natural resources and our growing energy demand. Finally, the "Data of the future" presents a series of data visualizations to discover the possible futures of our planet by the end of the century.
Let's get ready!The last part highlights the notions of individual and collective actions, commitment and mobilization. A device allows visitors to calculate their carbon footprint. Citizens demonstrate their awareness and their concrete actions. The role of States and businesses in transforming the system is discussed. Finally, an audiovisual sequence projected in a hut explores the question of the collective, activism and commitment.
