Conference Co-organized by Sciences Po, CEE (UMR 8239) & School of Public Affairs 

Environmental and climate change have sparked continued attention, support and opposition during the last presidential tenure. What are the chances for this issue to become a central component of the presidential campaign? Will this be an issue that will be taken seriously at all beyond official statements? What are the main fault lines dividing both the opinion and political parties' positions in regard to the climate crisis?
