Addressing climate change with the help of nuclear science (French Edition)

More and more countries are using nuclear technology to combat climate change, the biggest environmental challenge of our time. Nuclear power, currently in use in around 30 countries and under consideration in almost as many, is an important source of clean, low-carbon energy. It undoubtedly has a significant role to play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, the damage that climate change has already caused to the environment and the threat it poses to the livelihoods of entire communities also need to be addressed. Non-power applications of nuclear science and technology are already making an important contribution. To showcase this contribution, as well as the use of nuclear energy, the 2018 IAEA Scientific Forum is devoted to Nuclear Technology for Climate: Mitigation, Monitoring and Adaptation.
