Vous
avez entendu parler des victimes et des conséquences du changement
climatique.
Mais connaissez-vous les femmes et les hommes qui se battent chaque jour pour
en contrer les causes, ou les conséquences ?
Du
simple citoyen à la personnalité médiatique, ils peuvent nous inspirer dans
notre vie quotidienne pour nous aider à modifier nos comportements et
désacraliser l’ampleur de la tâche qui nous attend.
Rassemblés au sein d’un même
projet photographique, ce sont les visages des Héros qui se battent pour comprendre,
anticiper ou limiter les impacts des changements climatiques.

You heard about the victims and the consequences of climate change.
But do you know that well the story of the women and the men who fight each
day to counter its causes and consequences?
From the everyday citizen to the officials involved in media or politics, they can
inspire us in our daily life, and help us change our behavior while making the
task at hand more humanly reachable. Gathered within one single photographic
project, they are the faces of the
the impacts of climate change.

Quels sont les objectifs du projet ?
What are the project objectives?
"Inspirer par l’exemple d’actions positives."
"Inspire by example of positive actions."
A travers le projet photographique Climate Heroes, nous
avons décidé de mettre en lumière celles et ceux qui
se distinguent par leurs valeurs et leurs actions, dans leur
lutte quotidienne, avec les solutions dont ils sont porteurs. Sur le
terrain ou depuis leur bureau, leur exemple nous insuffle l’énergie
nécessaire pour répondre à la question « comment puis-je
commencer à agir aujourd’hui ? »
Climate Heroes is a photo project by which we aim to shed the
light on those men and women who stand out by their values
and actions, in their daily fight, along with the solutions they try to
promote. From the field or from their office, their example gives
us the necessary strength to answer the question «how can I start
acting now?»
Notre visée est particulièrement de :
We specifically aim to:
• Valoriser les démarches positives et porteuses de solutions
• Highlight positive actions that bring actual solutions
• Proposer au public une vision nouvelle et accessible sur les
problématiques du climat, à travers des exemples tirés de
l’ensemble de ses acteurs, professionnels ou citoyens
• Offer the public a novel vision on climatic issues, more readily
accessible through examples taken from a wide range of
stakeholders, be they professional or citizens
• Interpeller, inspirer et faciliter les évolutions de comportements
• Provoke thought, inspire and foster behavioral changes
En faisant le portrait des femmes et des hommes qui sont passés
à l’action, nous décidons de porter un message fort et positif.
Climate Heroes se conclura par une exposition finale d’envergure
en 2014, faisant écho au Sommet de la Terre (ou Rio+20), de juin
2012, et en parallèle des discussions sur le futur Protocole de
Kyoto fin 2014.
By making the portrait of those men and women who already
started acting for the wealth of all, we decide to carry a strong
and positive message. Climate Heroes will conclude through a
final exhibition in 2014, echoing the Earth Summit, or Rio+20, of
June 2012, and in parallel to the climate talks that will prepare the
new Kyoto Protocol end of 2014.
