Oil depletion: myth or reality? What costs and what strategy should be adopted to implement the Kyoto Protocol and effectively combat climate change? Between nuclear power, “clean coal,” and renewable energy sources, what energy policy should now be deployed in the short and long term to preserve natural resources and protect the environment? These are some of the questions this exhibition will attempt to answer by drawing on the testimony and pioneering experience of about twenty specialists from Northern Europe (Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands), Southern Europe (Spain, Italy), Israel, the Middle East, and South America (Peruvian delegation).
Supported by notable sponsors and partners such as the EDF Group, ADEME, the Sophia Antipolis Foundation, Maisons de France Italie, the Italian Chamber of Commerce, the Club Sophia Nordic Link, CERAM, the EDEN association, the event, open to academic, associative, institutional, and industrial circles, aims to introduce visitors to the latest environmental technological solutions, through:
