Yves Laszlo & Mathieu Lizée : « Towards a Manhattan Project for Ecological Transition »

On 13 November, mathematician Yves Laszlo and physicist Mathieu Lizée were the first guests at a new series of conferences organised by students and associations at Télécom Paris, focusing on the responses of science and technology to climate change.

They took to the stage to relay their unprecedented call for action to implement a "Manhattan Project for ecological transition", alongside scientists from all walks of life.
Their ambition? A research centre dedicated to ecological transition, working directly with industry to develop breakthrough technologies to decarbonise the economy. According to the International Energy Agency, 40% of the technologies that would enable us to comply with the Paris agreements are not yet mature.
