We change for life
We Change For Life is a project initiated by three scientists,
biologists or climatologist, who wish to raise public awareness about
the emergency to take action to ensure the livability of our planet.
250 scientists testify about the changes they put into practice in their life to better respect our environment

My main concerns in the field of biodiversity and plant responses to climate change is that many ecosystems (forests, grasslands, drylands, etc. across the globe) ARE already actually (…)
Jeanne Rezsöhazy / PhD Student
Today, I am mainly concerned by how quickly environmental and climate changes occur, compared to the political inertia with regard to environmental issues.
Brigitte Gloire / Adviser in environment & development
Market “laisser faire” and capitulating politics in the face of polluters and false solutions is incompatible with restoring our planet and human dignity.
