Upon arrival in Tromsø, at the conclusion of the expedition, issues will be handled that will offer a developed and multilateral view of the risks of climate change and the solutions to it that have been brought forward. What can we hope for the future? Presently, disagreements among traditional powers (United States and Europe) as to how to best handle the problem, have rendered efficient action difficult. Also, what is the position of emerging powers like China, India and Brazil? This last port of call will have us conclude on one year of travel and encounters around the problem of climate change. The expedition crew, keenly aware of the issues linked to climate change and enriched by a one-year journey through the facets of the problem, will become a spokeperson for the expedition and will participate in events in order to share the experience and its results with a wide public.
