The Climatograph

Presentation

The Climatographe Summer University brings together scientists, climatologists and academics every year.
In the evening: conferences, screenings and discussions on the theme of climate change related to pastoralism. Open to all!

Let's talk science all week long at Climatographe! The 2026 theme will be "Knowledge, know-how and know-how of living communities facing climate change"?
This year, the Climatographe summer school echoes UNESCO's celebration, in 2026, of the International Year of Pastoral Rangelands and Livestock Farmers. It's an opportunity to raise awareness and examine the challenges facing this ancestral livestock farming method, which has shaped the landscapes of the Causses and Cévennes and continues to shape life in our mountains and valleys.

In the evening: a series of conferences and discussions with experts and screenings open to all with free access throughout the week.
