30 questions for understanding the Paris Climate Change conference - E-book - ePub

Can technology save us from the climate change? Is France exemplary? What can Barack Obama commit to? Why are things changing in China? Who are the opponents of the fight against climate change? While France hosts the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21), in December 2015, this book provides the keys to understanding the issues and gives information on ways to get involved throughout the year.
The authors, who follow the negotiations and participate from within, decipher some of the geopolitical, economic and financial challenges that surround a summit meeting that will be decisive for our future. For the time being, the "battle of Paris' is neither won nor lost. It is being fought right now, in the circle of the official negotiations and in the economic and financial worlds, as it is in the indispensible mobilisation of the citizens.
