On January 13 and 14 Combloux organizes the 1st edition of Perspectives de Combloux: conferences and round tables on environmental issues, led by local stakeholders, experts and scientists. This first edition will focus on the theme of water, with a central question: “Mont-Blanc, a water tower on borrowed time?”.
Aware of its exceptional natural setting but also of the impacts of climate change on it, Combloux wanted to create a time for discussion around the challenges that await our territories to better understand them and lead to avenues of reflection on ways to act to better preserve them.
The 1st edition of Perspectives de Combloux opens the discussion on the theme of water on January 13 and 14.
