🔔 CLIMACT closes on December 31, 2024
Created in 2021, CLIMACT will cease operations following UNIL and EPFL’s decision not to extend the collaboration.
While CLIMACT ends, other platforms like the Competence Centre in Sustainability (CCD), the Expertise Center for Climate Extremes (ECCE) continue the work. Support them!

The total magnitude of the warming from contrails is highly uncertain, but is approximately equal to the warming from all greenhouse gases emitted from every aircraft since the dawn of flight.

DID YOU KNOW ?
Aviation contributes about 3.5% to the current climate impact, even though it's responsible for only 2.4% of the world's yearly CO2 emissions.
COVID-19 only slightly delayed aviation's climate impact
Additionally, aviation emits non-CO2 pollutants like contrail clouds and NOx, which make up roughly two-thirds of its total climate impact, and this may change in the future.

"FACE AU CHANGEMENT CLIMATIQUE, IL FAUT PASSER À LA VITESSE SUPÉRIEURE"
Découvrez l'interview de Nicolas Tétreault, Directeur de CLIMACT, publié dans le magazine GO2050.
EXTRAIT: "Le rôle de la #science est de «mettre la table» en créant des scénarios et en informant. Beaucoup de solutions technologiques décarbonées sont aujourd’hui matures.
En théorie, il est donc tout à fait possible d’atteindre les objectifs fixés par les Accords de Paris."
