Change the World in Two Hours: Energy Allies Public Event

Change the world in the hours—what if it was possible?

For one evening, come and talk with Pascal Canfin, former director of WWF France and member of France’s High Council for Climate, and Johanna Rolland , president of Nantes Métropole and mayor of Nantes, on the issues of climate change.

Alongside them, two U.S. cities and one German city will share their experiences on the energy transition, and local actors will engage on new economic models of transition and their solutions to climate issues.

Organized by the team of the mission d'animation of the Transition Energétique Roadmap, following the Great Citizen and Metropolitan Debate, this evening is free and open to all.

At 6:15 pm, we will begin with a panel on concrete solutions to meet the climate and environmental challenge:

• The five challenges of transition: zero waste, carpooling, telecommuting, positive energy, and food.
• The WWF's We Act For Good (WAG) app.
• The challenge 1001 eco-friendly events.
• The challenge of energy renovation with MonProjetRenov.fr.

Excerpts from the documentary film “Après Demain,” by Cyril Dion and Laure Noualhat will introduce exchanges with Pascal Canfin, followed by a roundtable discussion.
