On the road to the Climate Conference in Paris (COP21), the Embassy of France in the United States will host a World Wide Views' conference on October 22 entitled "The Citizen between Science and Policy: Innovation in Governance and Climate Change Resilience."

On June 6, 2015, beginning at dawn in the Pacific Islands and ending at dusk in the American Southwest, 10,000 everyday citizens in 76 countries met to participate in this World Wide Views on Climate and Energy, to help inform, empower, and influence the negotiations leading up to the Climate Conference in Paris (COP21).
