This stopover, in the heart of a megalopolis, will permit us to take stock of the answers that the political world has provided up against the risks and the stakes linked to climate change. Conventions that govern certain economies on the international scale already exist. The best known among these is the Kyoto Protocol on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. But numerous other agreements on the different aspects of climate change do exist.

How do they work ? Who has agreed to abide by them ? What is their impact ? What of their future ?
