- "From Weather to Climate"
EUMETSAT is the European
Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites.
Its mission is to provide national weather services of its member
data, satellite images and products essential for meteorology
and climatology. Professional from EUMETSAT and Météo-France
explained the role of these data and how they operate.

- Using their "working tool",
Meteo Swiss explained how they develop a weather forecast and
how it is "decoded" to allow its use for a TV weather
report.

- How heavy is a cloud?
The clouds contain huge amounts of water. How do they not fall
on our head, like our ancestors the Gauls feared? Understanding
clouds is to understand the weather, nice weather or severe storm,
but also the water cycle and its influence on climate.

- The impact of our consumption
on climate
This participatory workshop
aimed to raise awareness of the ecological impacts of our consumption,
particularly on climate change. Through four objects, students
analyzed the energy behind their lifecycle (from design, raw
material extraction, manufacturing, transportation, consumption,
recycling, and management at the end of life).

- What is your carbon footprint?
- The carbon footprint is a measure
of the pressure
from by human over nature. This tool estimates the
planet's surface needed for a population to
meet its consumption of resources and absorb
waste and pollution generated. Children tested their
knowledge with the 10 questions game about carbon footprint.

- Ozzy and Zoe Ozone, defenders
of the Planet
- The ozone layer is a shield
that covers Earth and protects us from harmful UV rays. It is
composed of ozone molecules, like Ozzy and Zoe which together
form a safety net that blocks most of these dangerous rays. Ozzy
and Zoe Ozone, defenders of the planet, came down from home through
the stratosphere for a few hours at WMO, to help children understand
what ozone and ozone layer hole are and why we must protect from
sunlight.

the role of weather satellites in case of extreme weather events.
Children had to measure the influence of climate change on the
oceans (increased ocean temperatures and result in rising sea
levels ...), local climates, the diversity of environments...
