Three years after the adoption of the Paris Agreement, COP24 will take place in Poland in December 2018. Has the implementation of the commitments made in 2015 matched the climate challenge? How can states strengthen their ambition and coordinate their efforts for effective and just action?

At the same time, debates take place, commitments are made and policies are implemented on a scale closer to us, at the level of the European Union (climate-energy package to 2030), France (programming multiannual energy, national low carbon strategy to 2050) and local communities (territorial climate plans). What is the influence of the Paris Agreement on these scales? Conversely, how is the action of France and the European Union important for international dynamics?

Sofia Fernandes intervenes alongside Arnaud Leroy, ADEME President and CEO, Michel Colombier, Iddri Scientific Director, Marine de Bazelaire, Sustainable Development Director of HSBC France, Géraud Guibert, President of La Fabrique Écologique, Benoît Leguet, Director of I4CE, Nick Mabey, General Manager of E3G (Third Generation Environmentalism), Damien Navizet, Head of Climate Division of AFD, Sébastien Storme, Senior Advisor of Just Transition Center of the International Confederation of Trade Unions and Lola Vallejo, director of the Iddri Climate Program.
