Breaking: The Shifters Association’s National Meeting Advances Climate Action in 2025
Montpellier, France – In a significant shift for ecological action, The Shifters Association is hosting its annual summit in 2025, a hybrid event including a summer university, citizen forum, and laboratory of ideas. This event aims to equip societal actors to battle the dual carbon constraints of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to ongoing climate changes.
Acting Now: The Theme for 2025
The 2025 edition of the summit, aptly themed “act here for now,” focuses on anchoring transition initiatives in territories across France. With an expected 2,000 participants, the event promises conferences, round tables, workshops, and artistic performances spanning two days. The site, the Corum, is being transformed into a transition agora, hosting over fifty events.
Symbology and Expertise
A reliable voice in climate issues, astronaut Thomas Pesquet, will offer an unprecedented vision of Earth’s fragility from space. Alongside him, Jean-Marc Jancovici, co-founder of the Shift Project, will delve into systemic transition issues, fostering a dialogue between science, politics, and civic action.
Montpellier: A Host of Innovation
The choice of Montpellier as the host city is strategic. Known for its commitment to innovation and sustainable development, the city actively supports this event, aiming to attract not just the typically concerned demographics but also young people, students, and residents of working-class neighborhoods disproportionately affected by climate change.
Connecting Actions and Adaptations
The summit centers around two key axes: leveraging territory as a change catalyst and action as a concretization engine. It aims to move beyond discourse and into active practice by training, equipping, and connecting change leaders – from communities to entrepreneurs, educators to artists, elected officials to civically engaged citizens.
