PERFORMING THE ROLE OF AN EXPERT AND ADVISOR

Climate Change and the

Transformation of the Energy

System

This advice note, dated 3 November 2015

73

,

takes stock of the reflections conducted within the

Académie des Sciences since its previous opinion

on climate change in 2010, to the conclusions

of which it provides a confirmation at a distance.

This followed from a long process carried out

within internal working groups of the Académie,

which relied, when deemed necessary, on external

experts, and on two conferences that presented

the state of knowledge regarding climate data (16

December 2014

74

) and models (22 September

2015

75

).

Advice Note on the MicroCarb Project

In this advice note prepared by its

Standing

Committee for Environmental Sciences

and

Standing

Committee for Space Research

and adopted on 1

December 2015

76

, the Académie recommends the

academic agencies and the relevant ministries to

launch the MicroCarb mission of CNES as soon

as possible, aimed at measuring atmospheric CO

2

from space.
