The Exhibition
An educational and immersive experience at the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie.
According to sources, the “Climate Emergency” exhibition is permanently presented at the Cité des Sciences (dates given in broadcast files: April 25, 2023 and May 16, 2023).
The journey sets up a face-to-face between scientific data and concrete options, turning abstract charts into tangible displays.
Here, the role of greenhouse gases, CO2 circulation, and prospective scenarios cease being mere concepts: they become manipulable models, simulations, and images that engage both mind and hands.
Why Visit?
Four reasons to see the exhibition right now.
The Journey
Three sections structure the visit and guide reflection.
“Decarbonize” presents causes and levers: techniques, energy choices, and transformations of production modes shown through models and concrete demonstrations that set decision-making chains in motion.
“Anticipate” offers trajectories towards 2050, based on studies and scenarios (including references to ADEME) to measure consequences of different political or technological choices.
“Act” places the visitor in a network of actors: tools for farmers, options for architects, collective instruments, and examples of public policies, each accompanied by practical access to understand how to turn knowledge into action.
Editor's note
Climate Emergency successfully shifts education from mere awareness to practical action: instead of accumulating anxiety, the exhibition offers gestures and benchmarks.
Visitors leave feeling less powerless and better equipped.
Features and Resources
Various formats, multiple entry points: the exhibition encourages active learning.
Manipulable models and scenario games shift models from paper to hand, turning abstraction into measurable action.
Scientific data and ADEME scenarios are presented side-by-side with technical solutions, so that findings and levers respond to each other seamlessly.
A carbon footprint calculator, integrated into the journey, invites everyone to place their habits within a quantified landscape.
Citizen testimonials and a last audiovisual sequence, projected inside a hut, mix stories and images to make the human stakes of transitions tangible.

Who It's For and Why Visit
Educational without being patronizing, the exhibition is aimed at a wide audience.
Designed for both families and adult audiences, the visit offers successive entry levels: discovery, deepening, and practice.
The staging logic favors experimentation: visitors manipulate, calculate, compare scenarios rather than go through a series of informative panels.
The result is not a sermon: it’s a workshop of understanding where visitors leave with images, figures, and reusable tools.
