As part of the launch of its new 3.0 project, Labex ITTEM will welcome Valérie Masson-Delmotte and Nicolas Nova for an inaugural conference on Thursday December 12, 2024.

Respectively climatologist and anthropologist, they will take an expert yet distanced look at mountains, the crises that are shaking their territories and the transitions that are being invented. From the effects of climate change to the response of stakeholders, via the place and role of the researcher in public action, they will shed light on the current context and open the debate with the public.
