Summer intensive school on Climate Change:
The objective of the CÉRIUM's summer school on Climate Change, which started in 2016 as well, is to provide keys of understanding to students, researchers, and practitioners who will operate within a political economy undergoing profound changes. The summer school explores the transformations and upheavals in the fight against climate change, providing a historical perspective and future prospects in the short, medium, and long term.
