About FACTS : Building up to the United Nations Climate Change Conference to be hosted by France in December 2015 (COP 21-Paris Climate 2015), FACTS (French Ameri-Can Climate TalkS) is an event organized by the Embassies of France in both Canada and the United States. In preparation for the United Nations Conference, it seems important to consider the challenge of climate change not only in the context of a shared emissions burden but also as an opportunity to create employment, economic growth and innovative modes of production and consumption. FACTS aims to mobilize French, American, and Canadian public opinion on the issues of the conference and reinforce the dialogue between experts from these countries.
FACTS is a public conference series planned to take place in seven cities in the United States and Canada involving French, American or Canadian renowned scientists, civil society representatives, NGOs, political figures, journalists and entrepreneurs who will discuss climate change issues.
