As part of our mission and because action is urgently needed, the School is committed to fighting global warming with an ambitious target: to contribute to net 0 by 2030.
Our action plan commits us, as a priority, to reducing our emissions, but we know that there will still be emissions that cannot be reduced. That's why we've chosen to act locally, in France, by helping to finance a project to afforest agricultural land in Mayenne, which will enable CO2 to be stored on a long-term basis.
