Twelve months and 21 ports of call to address the stakes of climate change on the environment and also on the ecology, the economy, society, institutions and politics. These topics will be considered on the international, regional and local scales, and all sectors of activity will be covered.

Themes presented above will will been approached, in order chronological, in the course of the route of the expedition.
At each main port of call, a different theme will be tackled. Roundtables, interviews, on-site visits and conferences will be so many opportunities to interact with actors of climate change : scientists, politcal decision-makers, industrialists, NGOs, citizens, etc. These events will provide concrete illustrations of the themes under discussion and will constitute a series of testimonies as to the realities of climate change and the solutions that have been implemented to address them.
