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.
