Amélie Deschamps holds a PhD in geography and urban planning and has been a postdoctoral researcher at LATTS since September 1. She works on the ANR Invest project alongside Ludovic Halbert and Félix Adisson, among others. Her research project focuses on the financing of nature-based solutions in urban areas through calls for projects.
This work is a continuation of her doctoral research, carried out at Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University and the Environment, City, Society laboratory (UMR 5600) under the supervision of Lise Bourdeau-Lepage. She worked on municipal participatory greening programs implemented in Lille, Lyon, and Paris. She has shown how the institutionalization of residents' practices responds to a need to develop public spaces in the context of ecological transition, despite a reduction in municipal resources. However, this delegation has spatial effects, with uneven greening of urban spaces.

Antoine Picon will speak on this topic on Thursday, September 1, 2022, during the "inaugural lectures for first-year students at École des Ponts ParisTech" (10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Caquot lecture hall, Coriolis Building).
The industrial era saw the rise of the engineer as the embodiment of progress that was inextricably linked to both technology and society. The promises of engineering seemed to transcend ideological divides. Whether capitalist or communist, people appreciated the achievements of engineers. This optimism no longer seems entirely appropriate today, as technical progress is far from unanimously accepted. The acceleration of climate change has amplified these doubts. More generally, engineering no longer seems capable of shaping the future desired by entire segments of the population in developed countries who are sensitive to the issues of necessary energy transition and degrowth. Questioning its future means accepting to confront the question, unthinkable a few decades ago, of the validity of progress.
Nathalie Roseau took part in the program "Le débat de midi" on France Inter on Wednesday, August 17, 2022.
The theme of the program was the issue of cities facing the challenge of rising temperatures.

Paola Piras spoke on this topic during a workshop entitled "Digital challenges in sub-Saharan African cities: economic and urban transformations and new analytical frameworks" at the African Studies Meetings in France, held from June 28 to July 1, 2022.
Christine Fassert spoke on this topic at the ARCHIPEL scientific conference held June 20-23, 2022, in Grenoble.
This workshop offers a collective reflection on the specificities of scientifically demonstrating damage or risk and attributing it to one or more responsible parties in what is fundamental to scientific research: rigorously and honestly establishing the facts.
The session aims to take into account the attacks to which female researchers are exposed in the course of their work, to draw up a typology of these attacks, and then to engage in a discussion with a view to producing systematic epistemological and methodological responses.
To this end, the workshop proposes to combine disciplinary approaches and take a variety of fields into consideration: agriculture, energy/climate, armaments and nuclear energy, finance, health, etc. The primary ambition here is therefore to characterize and affirm what enables the affirmation and acceptance of robust knowledge, its conditions of validity and circulation, by clearly distinguishing it from other types of challenges.
