    Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC (2002-2015).

    Emeritus Research Director of France’s Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), Jean Jouzel has dedicated his entire scientific career to the reconstitution of past climates through the study of Antarctica and Greenland’s ices. He was vice-chair of one of its working group when the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, GIEC in French) received the Nobel Prize for Peace in 2007 along with US former Vice-President Al Gore. Since 2016, he is foreign member of the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS). He is also a member of France’s Academy of Sciences. He strongly believes in the role of scientists to inspire the public to act now.

  • Message from Pr Jean Jouzel, 7 April 2021

    The objective of carbon neutrality by 2050 was advocated by scientists two years ago in the IPCC special report on global warming of 1.5 °C and is already adopted in legislation and policy documents in France, the European Union, the United States, South Korea, Japan and many other countries, and also by China by 2060.

     

    The "CARBON PRICING CONFERENCE" is important because it is essential to put a price on carbon, and it is also necessary to have a real political will and to develop technological and social innovations that have effective impacts on mitigating and adapting to climate change, without forgetting sobriety and education.

    Everyone must realise that carbon neutrality in 2050 requires a complete change in the way our societies function.

     

    The acculturation of all people, including policy makers, is key. I dedicate today most of my time to education. I am member of the Office for Climate Education, under the auspices of UNESCO.

     

    The French Minister for Higher Education, Research and Innovation, Frédérique Vidal, has given me the task of chairing the "Teaching the Ecological Transition in Higher Education" mission. Our first report, published in March, makes recommendations to ensure that, in the short term, 100% of students in the French higher education system are trained in the ecological transition. This also includes biodiversity and climate. We are now embarking on a second, more operational phase aiming to formulate recommendations to facilitate the implementation of training and awareness-raising actions, promoting what is already being done successfully in some places and seeking not to impose but to get institutions to adhere.

     

    The City of Sciences and Industry in Paris is preparing a permanent exhibition on the ecological transition, which will be open to the public from 2023, and I have agreed to be the Scientific Commissioner.

     

    We really need to tackle carbon neutrality from all angles, as you propose to discuss it in the "CARBON PRICING CONFERENCE". And we must carefully weigh up the innovations against their real impacts and the real consequences of climate change, to win economically and ecologically, with the right new kinds of jobs we need. That’s why I encourage all of you to go ahead and I am pleased to accept to be the Honorary Chairman of the Conference on 2-3 June 2021 in Paris.

    CARBON PRICING, as the core engine for a New Economic Model

    Sustainable & Healthier GDP

     

    CARBON PRICING CONFERENCE offers a distinctive and high-standard content on carbon issues to exchange at a global stage on the Financial key tools, Technologies & Policies.

    According to the context evolution, hold as a Full online or Hybrid Event, for the 2-3 June 2021, PARIS, the conference contributes to the global agenda by co-designing a Public-Private Policies for Lower-Carbon Economy. From Finance to Industries, Carbon market(s) price(s), taxes and standards are becoming the must tools for the NetZero World.

     

    The conference is focused on accelerating the Business Model Reboot through Financial Places. It has also to be much more transparent, fair, and inclusive for all around the world.

    With deep insights of both "THE WHY" and "THE HOW", from Green Bonds and Capital Markets, Portfolio and industrial decarbonization strategies, to Tax Efficiency by Regulators, we will also spotlight the new possibilities offered by ClimateTech players, aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement.

    • FROM "THE WHY" the current Industrial Model and Financial Market Preferences are obsolete and should be reengineered to efficiently address the climate change and sustainability issues, whilst responding to the new challenges and opportunities.​
    • TO "THE HOW" the transformational change can be seamlessly driven to achieve a Green Transition and Healthier Model through concrete and practical strategies, tools and techniques. The Technologies players, in particular Climate Techs & Data models could contributed massively for a real Integrated Report, and as to monitor the corporate "Internal Carbon Pricing" By design.

    The Conference will put lights on the Capital Market Players, Operators, Industries, States, Cities, Regulators and NGOs to cope with this deep shift and Societal Demand. The makers, disruptors and traditional players are building the New Economic Paradigm which care to Environment and Humanity in our Common Global Village.

    Innovations & Data strategies for market efficiency, technical and arbitration will be also discussed. Powered by Academic insights we will also discuss on the Future of Carbon Pricing (concatenation for global, glocal or local carbon markets), contributing to strengthen the FC4I (Financial Centers For Sustainability Initiative).

     

    CARBON PRICING CONFERENCE is positioned as a unique platform for Players to showcase their Carbon Neutrality Strategies, Innovations, strengthen their network with decision makers and markets. Come to raise the ClimateTech Ecosystem, the New Economic Engine of the XXI Century.

    We want here to reinforce the global roadmap also as an " Accelerator Conf" to better design these carbon issues.

    We also do believe in these global policies, that CARBON PRICING is the key and green financial tool, to create the framework market for millions of new skills and jobs all around the world. From markets, industries, institutions to civil society, the massive Low-Carbon Economy model(s) for Sustainable New Deal is a real expectation. Today, track achieving the Paris Agreement Global Engagements is a "Must to share" both: as the common need and interest. Now, it is all about: how we "put the real and right value on the right things, for NetZero Targets".
