CLIMATE, THEME 2023
The climate occupies us, the climate worries us, but it would be proud to think that we are the first to ask ourselves these questions, already in the minds of our predecessors.
Weather and climate are two sides of the same coin. When we talk about meteorology, we are talking about events such as wind, rain, heat, in a daily experience. When we talk about climate, time is taken into account over much longer periods. The French language uses the same word to talk about the weather and the time that passes. Long time, historical time, is therefore inherent to the very notion of climate.
