2 The Paris Climate Conference(COP21) France will host the 21 st United Nations Climate Conference (COP21 Paris) on Nov30- Dec11, 2015, in Paris. Will attend the 196 countries that have signed the UNFCCC since the Rio Summit. The goal is to establish an agreement that is binding, applicable to all, and ambitious enough to limit global warming to 2 C Preparation has already begun will the publication of the 5 th report from the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)

3 Whatthe climateexperts sayabout climatechange & what s driving it(ipcc Working Group 1) IPCC Workgroup 1 The Physical Science Basis Conclusions from climate experts: The globally averaged combined land and ocean surface temperature data show a warming of 0.85 C,over the period It is extremely likely (95% chance) that anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have been the dominant cause of the observed warming A peer-review process of 9200 publications 260 authors and 600 contributors.

4 The needto tackleco2 emissionsin the power sector Increase in CO2 emissions from fossil fuels is the main contributor to climate change The power sector today represents 40% of total CO2 emissions

5 To limit the temperature increase below 2 C in Today, it is about 30% 2013 world electricity generation by source..at least 80% of the world s electricity must be low-carbon by Coal 41% Gas 22% Oil 5% Autre 32% Source: AIE-WEO 2014 Nuclear 11% Hydro 16% Other renewables 5% This is a massive global challenge that requires the use of all available low-carbon energy technologies.

6 Major progress in energy efficiency will not be sufficient: the electricity demand is expected to double by 2050 By 2050: Electricity demand and share of electricity (IEA) the world s population will be around 9.6 billion Today: 1.2 billion people do not have access to electricity 2.8 billion use wood or other biomass products for cooking and heating Strong demand from non-oecd countries Increased share of electricity in the overall energy mix The fight against climate change should not jeopardize development

7 The IPCC identifies three types of carbon-free electricity: renewables, nuclear and CCS (Carbon Capture & Storage). The amount of CO2 emitted by nuclear energy is comparable to that of renewables

8 It is urgent to use now all available low-carbon energy sources 70% of the carbon budget has been consumed Once released, CO2 remains in the atmosphere for a long time. Carbon budget: cumulative CO2 emissions that must not be exceeded if we are to contain average global warming to 2 C Gt CO Remaining Since preindustrial era We cannot wait for future technologies : they will contribute in proportion to their availability Carbon budget Source: IPCC

9 Nuclear energy is an available, low-carbon and efficient industrial solution, that has been proven efficient 438nuclear reactors in operation, nuclear energy is available in 30countries. Today, only 6countries above 80% goal of low-carbon electricity, 4 of them have nuclear. Sweden Switzerland France Brazil 40% nuclear 40% nuclear 75% nuclear 2 nuclear reactors Since 1971 nuclear power has avoided the release of the equivalent of 2 years of CO2 emissions. By 2040, nuclear power should save the equivalent of 4 years of CO2 emissions.

10 Most scenarios limiting the temperature increase to 2 C show a very significant contribution of nuclear energy "There is no credible way to climate stabilization that does not include an important role for nuclear energy.we cannot afford to turn our back on any technology". Open letter from environmentalists, Washington Post Installed capacity by country Source: IEA technology roadmap Gross nuclear capacity should double by 2050, from 400 GWeto 930 GWe. Share of nuclear power in the global energy mix to increase from 11% to 17%. Stability in OECD (long time operations), and strong growth in BRICs & Middle East: 70+ reactors being constructed WW

11 «Nuclear for Climate»: a grassroots initiative It brings together the many professionals and scientists of the international nuclear community, coordinated via 60+ nuclear associations worldwide. We proudly believe that nuclear energy is a key part of the solution
