by avitemadminin Non classifié(e)on Posted on

An event to understand and take action against inequalities exacerbated by global warming.

Thursday, June 4, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM Auditorium of the Musée d’Histoire de Marseille (Port Antique, rue Barbusse, 13001 Marseille) Free admission (subject to availability)

Marseille is warming twice as fast as the global average (+1.8°C since the 1960s). When it comes to heat, we are not all equal: housing conditions, access to cool spaces, health status, and social situation strongly influence our ability to cope. Heat is not only a revealers but also an amplifier of urban inequalities.
