Practical information
The objective of this seminar is to try and outline the tendencies, processes or determinants that could affect climate negotiations between COP 15, in Copenhagen, and the upcoming conference in Cancún, and possibly alter its results: the increasing and increasingly visible impacts of climate change, the rise of new leaders or coalitions in the negotiations, and the development of alternative and possible competitive forums of governance. Such reflections will enable speakers and participants to give a first prospective analysis of the upcoming negotiations in Cancún.
The presentations and videos of the speeches are available below.

France-Germany, The Engine Under Pressure
Faced with a profoundly disrupted strategic and economic environment, Franco-German cooperation is more than ever the central pillar of Europe's future. The war in Ukraine, energy and technological dependence, and uncertainty about the strength of the transatlantic ties require urgent deepening of European sovereignty, both in terms of defence and economic and industrial competitiveness.
