Paris – 25.06.2026: Françoise Vimeux, Director of Scientific Research at the Institute for Development Research (IRD), warned about the consequences of insufficient decarbonization. She emphasized that without decisive measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, summers in the coming years will become increasingly hotter. Vimeux stated that current summers may appear to be the coolest of our lives compared to future ones.
The climate scientist explained that the temperature increase in the French Alps is twice as high as the global average. She predicted that with a temperature rise of 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels, nearly all glaciers in the Alps could disappear by the end of the century.
Vimeux stressed the urgency of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to avert the worst effects of climate change. She warned that without decisive action, summers in the coming years could become increasingly hotter.
