Led by Sciences Po&#x27;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencespo.fr\/psia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA)  - open in a new window\">Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA) <\/a>in partnership with the University of Toronto, the University of Guelph, and the University of British Columbia, CARE responds to the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.\u00a0<br \/>Under the scientific coordination of Dr Charlotte Halpern and Dr Yamina Saeb, both Sciences Po faculty members, the Conference <span style=\"background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(0,0,0)\">explored two major topics: Adapting Cities to a 4\u00b0C World and Sufficiency as a Guide for Mitigation and Adaptation.<\/span><br \/>The 2026 CARE Annual Conference, held in Paris, brought together around 40 students from across the consortium for four days of collective learning, interdisciplinary dialogue, and community\u2011building. A large share of the Sciences Po cohort came from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencespo.fr\/psia\/academics\/masters\/master-environmental-policy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Master in Environmental Policy - open in a new window\">Master in Environmental Policy<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencespo.fr\/psia\/academics\/masters\/master-international-energy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"International Energy Transitions - open in a new window\">International Energy Transitions<\/a>, reflecting the program\u2019s strong alignment with CARE\u2019s mission and its emphasis on equipping students with the tools to navigate complex environmental challenges.<br \/>A defining feature of the conference was its focus on transforming scientific insights into actionable climate strategies. Discussions on urban adaptation explored how cities can prepare for a world potentially 4\u00b0C warmer, examining stakeholder engagement, co\u2011benefits, infrastructure resilience, and the politics of expertise. Student research played a central role, demonstrating how academic work can directly inform real\u2011world interventions, from community\u2011based climate modeling to the deployment of green roofs to reduce heat\u2011island effects.<br \/>Field visits across Greater Paris made these issues tangible. Participants observed greening initiatives, biodiversity restoration projects, crisis\u2011management operations, and innovative wastewater systems. These immersive experiences allowed students to see how adaptation strategies are implemented on the ground, reinforcing CARE\u2019s commitment to making climate learning\u00a0real, concrete, and connected to practice.<br \/>The conference also examined the role of sufficiency in climate mitigation and adaptation. Conversations emphasized the need to rethink prevailing economic and social models, shifting from growth\u2011driven paradigms toward wellbeing\u2011oriented systems. A roundtable on science and policymaking highlighted the political nature of expertise, exploring how evidence is used, contested, and sometimes instrumentalized. The discussion underscored the importance of transparency, accountability, and negotiation at the science\u2011policy interface, skills that CARE students are trained to develop.<br \/>One of the most impactful moments of the conference was the CARE Tribunal for the Yet to Come, an experiential learning exercise designed and performed by students. Blending scientific evidence, legal reasoning, and ethical reflection, the tribunal examined responsibilities owed to future generations. Through testimony, argumentation, and narrative performance, students demonstrated how climate justice can be taught not only as a concept but as a lived, embodied practice.<br \/>Beyond its academic depth, the conference fostered a strong sense of community. Student\u2011led sustainability and cultural activities encouraged informal exchange, while shared meals and receptions strengthened ties across institutions. The closing reflections emphasized four pillars, knowledge, innovation, leadership, and community, that define the CARE Program and its vision for climate\u2011resilient futures.<br \/>The 2026 edition not only advanced collective understanding of climate adaptation but also showcased the transformative value of CARE: a program where students learn by doing, engage with real\u2011world challenges, and build the collaborative mindset essential for tomorrow\u2019s climate leaders.<br \/>The consortium now looks ahead to its 2027 gathering at the University of British Columbia.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.care-climate.com\/events\/care-annual-conference-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Read the full report of the CARE Conference 2026. - open in a new window\">Read the full report of the CARE Conference 2026.<\/a><br \/>BROCHURE<br \/>Show more<br \/>BROCHURE<br \/>CANDIDATES NEWSLETTER<br \/>Admissions<br \/>Admissions report<br \/>Application guide<br \/>Tuition fees &amp; Scholarships guide<br \/>Careers Services Guide<br \/>Find out more about the Masters programs and the wide choice of specialisations offered by the 8 Schools of Sciences Po during <strong>our webinars dedicated to applicants<\/strong>.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/forms.sciencespo.fr\/en\/session-information\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Sign up<\/strong><\/a><br \/>Twitter<br \/>Facebook<br \/>Instagram<br \/>Address \/ phone<br \/>27, rue Saint Guillaume &#8211; 75337 Paris Cedex 07<br \/>Phone:<!-- --> <!-- -->+33 (0)1 45 49 50 50<!-- --> <!-- -->| +33 (0)1 42 22 31 26<br \/>Follow us<br \/>SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTERS<br \/>Subscribe<br \/>More<br \/>Quick links<br \/>\u00a9<!-- -->2026 SCIENCES PO<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/rss\/articles\/CBMickFVX3lxTE1zcWx6SzREWEtDcHJtZTBjNU41X3p4azNhOExKLXpFWGlBUW9XVkUxUm13LXl6SU9rZlNwX2pxcUlZSjY3cXdnT05hZUF4LXQ1UHFoSWJ5TFZtM2xIVWZlNk5WTk5tOFlOakVrOEwzSXYzZw?oc=5\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AcademicsAcademicsAt a glanceMaster ProgramsInternational SecurityInternational Governance and DiplomacyInternational Economic PolicyInternational DevelopmentHuman Rights and Humanitarian ActionEnvironmental PolicyInternational Energy TransitionsTechnology and Global AffairsJournalism and International AffairsOne-Year Master in Advanced Global StudiesInternational and National Dual DegreesExchange programmeConcentrationsFundamental coursesCareersCareersExploring your futureCareer TestimonialsNews &amp; EventsNews &amp; EventsLatest newsEventsYouth &amp; Leaders SummitParis Peace ForumInaugural Lessons10 years anniversaryAbout usAbout usOur ambitionOur governanceFacultyPartnerships [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3312,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3311","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnewstoday.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnewstoday.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnewstoday.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnewstoday.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnewstoday.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3311"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/globalnewstoday.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3311\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnewstoday.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnewstoday.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnewstoday.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnewstoday.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
