Co2nsequences

Co2nsequences is an ambitious initiative that combines innovation, creativity, and scientific expertise to tackle one of the major challenges of our time: reducing CO2 emissions.

The series aims to encourage:

1. Individual change: reducing energy consumption, changing purchasing habits, favoring sustainable modes of transportation.

2. Collective change: mobilizing support for climate policies and backing local and global initiatives aimed at reducing CO2 emissions.

3. Sustainable impact: creating momentum to make climate action an integral part of social discourse and everyday habits.

4. Awareness: by combining emotion, creativity, and science, the project aims to change the way climate issues are perceived and understood.

Thomas Wiesel reacted with cynicism and humor to the failure of the CO2 initiative vote in Switzerland, popularizing, in his own way, the conclusions of the recent IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report on the state of the climate crisis. He then focused on one of the studies by Professor François Maréchal of EPFL, entitled Decarbonization in Complex Energy Systems: A Study on the Feasibility of Carbon Neutrality for Switzerland in 2050.

Noa invites us into three versions of our future, three post-apocalyptic worlds, one of which is loosely based on the book Collapse... Was it meant for tomorrow?, published in 2021, itself an adaptation of Gabriel Salerno's doctoral thesis. The novel in question theorizes the imminent collapse of our society—drawing parallels with other societies that have collapsed throughout history—in light of environmental and social degradation, which many believe will continue to worsen. Noa takes the premise of this novel and imagines a world in 2085 where humans have not achieved the 2050 decarbonization targets, and compares it with two other worlds imagined by Stephen Hawking.

“Are my daily actions really helpful when you see thousands of litres of water used to produce artificial snow at the Olympic Games, or when air-conditioned stadiums are being built in Qatar?” “Should I even have a child while the world rushes to disaster?” Marie Lopez often asks herself questions like this, and if you do too, then you’re probably suffering from eco-anxiety. Using studies, testimonials and her own experience, Marie explains that eco-anxiety occurs daily and can be both a brake and an accelerator when it comes to reducing C02.

Passionate about technology, Jojol has been sharing his tech discoveries on social media since 2010. He is currently France's leading tech YouTuber with over 2 million subscribers. Today, there is a lot of fake news circulating about electric cars, so it was important to set the record straight and talk about their environmental impact.

With this video, Poisson Fécond takes you on a trip around the world, but not just any trip around the world! Imagine beautiful landscapes, green plains, and clear rivers... Now imagine the exact opposite! We're going to see the most polluted places on our planet and understand how this pollution also contributes to climate change.

Traveling is now an integral part of our lives. Whether it's an impromptu road trip or an overseas visit, there are several means of transportation available to us. In this video, we decided to analyze the consequences of our travel choices in terms of the means of transportation used and the distances traveled. So we set off on the second-longest train journey in Canada, crossing the continent from east to west, outside our comfort zone, while asking ourselves the right ecological questions and witnessing the changing landscapes and the climate impact that our choices can have on our environment.

Poisson Fécond takes you on a journey through time! His fictional guinea pig, Gustave, is teleported to a hypothetical future where global warming has reached an additional 4 degrees (Celsius) in France. Temperatures, extreme events, major upheavals in daily life and society... As the seasons pass, we discover together what awaits us in the not-so-distant future. That is, if we do nothing to prevent this future from happening! Because yes, we don't talk about it enough, but it is still entirely possible to have a pleasant future, far from the nightmarish and anxiety-inducing vision often described. The good news and solutions are at the end of the video!

The end of the world is coming... This documentary video traces my journey to a revolutionary island that doesn't go as planned. This trip turned my world upside down and profoundly changed my perception of the future. How can we deal with the current climate emergency? What do we need to prepare for? How can we take action to remedy the situation? This trip shook me up, opening my eyes to the various issues we face in the current climate emergency. Accompanied by Stéphane Genoud, an expert in energy transition, he reveals the challenges ahead, the necessary preparations, and the solutions to prepare us for tomorrow's world.

Is it possible to travel to Europe's most popular destination by plane... but by train? The answer is yes! Louanne and Matéo take on the challenge of crossing Europe using low-carbon transport, from Paris to Santorini. This small Greek island is particularly well known for its famous photos of influencers surrounded by white houses and blue roofs. To get there, they will discover secret paradises, memorable encounters, and surprising countries. An extraordinary adventure that will amaze the two friends and reveal everything that lies hidden along this route that we usually fly over.

Who would have thought that self-destruction could be so stylish? 65 million years ago, an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs. Today, another disaster threatens the planet, and it's called fast fashion. In this documentary on fast fashion and its environmental consequences, we examine the impact of the textile industry on global warming, ocean pollution, and textile waste that accumulates faster than our Shein/Zara or H&M shopping carts. Why is buying clothes at bargain prices a disaster for ethical fashion and sustainability? Spoiler alert: our $5 T-shirt could well be more destructive than the asteroid that wiped out the T-Rex. We talk about worker exploitation, overconsumption, and why it's time to choose slow fashion and responsible brands. This documentary shows how we went from “surviving the ice age” to “I have nothing to wear,” and how fast fashion is fueling the environmental crisis. Get ready to never look at your wardrobe the same way again!

Have you ever wondered what the real impact of our daily choices is on the planet and our future? In this engaging and educational video, Le Roi des Rats (The Rat King) explains the issues surrounding carbon footprints in simple terms, demystifies climate injustice and its global consequences, and explores concrete and accessible solutions for building a sustainable and united future. A complex but essential subject, made clear and understandable so that we can finally take action together, starting today.

In this video, Le Grand JD travels up one of Europe's largest rivers to its source, the Rhône glacier, to witness its melting. In 2024, this glacier lost 0.5m in height across its entire surface. As has been the case for several years now, glaciers are melting at an increasingly rapid rate. This year again, Swiss glaciers lost 2.5% of their mass. Le Grand JD meets glaciologist Saskia Gindraux, who explains the issues surrounding the loss of our glaciers.
