1895

mickmasson — 2016-11-01 20:56:32 UTC

The hypothesis of a link between average global temperature and levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been formulated for the first time in 1895 by the Nobel Prize in chemistry Svante Arrhenius. Arrhenius has shown that increasing the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere was likely to increase very significantly the temperature of the planet. He calculated that a doubling of CO2 concentration could cause a warming of 4 to 6 ° C, values consistent with models of the XXI century. This item shows the seniority of a scientific climate warming theory. (Source Wikipedia)

1987

According to the findings of the 2001 report of the IPCC scientists, the most likely cause of this warming in the second half of the twentieth century would be the "anthropogenic forcing", that is to say the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, resulting from human activity.

2015

The 2015 COP 21 appears to be a Sustainable & dynamic agreement

The agreement is intended to contain the average temperature increase well below 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels and to continue efforts to limit temperature increases to 1.5 °.

It is universal and legally binding.

An increasing world population

mickmasson — 2016-11-01 21:10:22 UTC

The need for sustainable development is the result of a simple and inescapable fact: population growth (2 billion in 1960, $ 7 billion today, 9 billion by 2050 according to forecasts by the United Nations) and the generalization of a form of development based primarily on increased production of material goods lead to pressure on natural resources which is incompatible with their preservation for future generations, without guaranteeing a fair distribution of wealth.

La Convention des Maires pour une énergie locale durable

mickmasson — 2016-11-01 21:37:53 UTC

In order to minimize its impact on the environment, the City of Caen leads a controlled expenditure policy to control its energy consumption. Logically, it is therefore part of the 4000 European signatories of the Covenant of Mayors to sustainable local energy and is committed to the goal of "3 x 20" EU:
• 20% reduction in its CO2 emissions by 2020
• 20% reduction in energy consumption
• 20% increase in renewable energy in the territory
