🌎 How do we adapt our cities to a 4°C world — and can sufficiency show us the way? These were the questions we tackled at the CARE Annual Conference 2026 in Paris. 🌿 From 4 to 7 March 2026, PSIA hosted the CARE Annual Conference 2026 — bringing together students, faculty, and leaders from the public and private sectors across the CARE consortium: PSIA - Sciences Po, University of Toronto - Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, UBC School of Public Policy and Global Affairs (SPPGA) and Arrell Food Institute at the University of Guelph. Over four days, we tackled two of the most pressing challenges of our time: 👉Adapting Cities to a 4°C World 👉Sufficiency as a Guide for Mitigation and Adaptation 🌿 Highlights included student poster presentations, the Tribunal for the Yet to Come, four site visits across Paris and the Greater Paris area, and rich conversations at our networking reception and conference dinner. 🎥 A full recap of the event is available on our YouTube channel: https://lnkd.in/e4ynUmBY 🔗 Learn more about CARE: https://lnkd.in/eAQ4b4-a #CARE2026 #ClimateAction #ClimateAdaptation #Sufficiency #SciencesPo #Paris
🌿 Building economies that work for people and the planet This semester, PSIA welcomed the Honourable Julie Dabrusin, Canada’s Minister of Environment, Climate Change and Nature, for a “60 Minutes With” held on the sidelines of the G7 Environment Ministers’ Meeting in Paris. From Canada’s new National Nature Plan to the idea that climate action is the biggest economic opportunity of our time since the industrial revolution, the conversation was a reminder that environmental diplomacy remains one of the most fertile spaces for genuine multilateral exchange. The goal, she stressed, is to build a future that works for people. 👉Read the article on our website : https://lnkd.in/e7acW8X8 #SciencesPo #PSIA #Canada #ClimateChange #Biodiversity #Nature #G7 #EnvironmentalPolicy #EnvironmentalDiplomacy

Europe has what it takes to compete. The question now is: will it act together? Today in #Dublin, more than 100 leaders from over 20 industries and 20 countries are meeting with senior representatives of the Irish Government to discuss how Europe can strengthen its long-term prosperity, resilience and growth. From fixing fragmented markets to the need for faster, bolder decisions - the conversation will focus on what it will take for Europe to lead in an increasingly competitive world. In this film, leaders from across Europe lay out what’s holding #competitiveness back - and what it will take to unlock Europe’s full potential. Featuring several co-chairs of the Leaders for European Growth and Competitiveness initiative: Arancha Gonzalez Laya and Jozef Síkela (Enabling Strategic Alliances); Annette Mosman and Maria Luís Albuquerque (Leveraging Financial Markets); and Anna Borg and Wopke Hoekstra (Clean and Competitive Energy and Industry).

Our Mastercard Foundation Scholars and Alumni took part in the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi! 🌍 Over two days, Kenya and France jointly hosted the Africa Forward Summit: Africa-France Partnerships for Innovation and Growth. The event highlighted the rich and dynamic relationship between the African continent and France through the diversity of its participants, including government representatives, business leaders, young people, artists, civil society organizations, and members of the diaspora. Youth employment was at the heart of the discussions, with sessions dedicated to high-impact sectors that create jobs and foster social cohesion, including sports, as well as cultural and creative industries. Congratulations to the Mastercard Foundation Scholars and Alumni who, alongside other students and distinguished Sciences Po alumni, actively contributed to the sessions, discussions, and events throughout the Summit!

🌍 What Next for the Fight Against the Financing of Terrorism? On the eve of the 5th “No Money for Terror” ministerial conference, a flagship moment of the French G7 Presidency, PSIA hosted a panel on the future of countering the financing of terrorism. The discussion brought together Elisa de Anda Madrazo, President of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), Noémie CHEVASSU, Senior Manager of the Complex Investigations Unit for France at Revolut, Nermine Kamal, Sub-Governor of the Central Bank of Egypt, and SALAVERT Lise, Advocacy Coordinator at ACTION CONTRE LA FAIM. 🔍 Following open remarks by olivier caron, French Special Envoy for Terrorism and Organized Crime, the conversation first focused on the operational reality of managing risk in the private sector. Noémie Chevassu offered a candid view, warning against the temptation of a zero-risk approach that would simply mean withdrawing from high-risk jurisdictions and losing the visibility needed to detect threats. 💻 Speakers then turned to the evolving geography and methods of terrorism financing. As Elisa de Anda Madrazo underlined, the threat has shifted from diaspora-based financing to a far more decentralized landscape, with Africa now accounting for nearly half of global casualties. Terrorist groups are increasingly turning to virtual assets to fund training and propaganda, in a sector that long remained beyond the reach of any regulator. The role of the FATF is precisely to assess how effectively countries implement standards, while ensuring that international organisations have the resources to keep up. ⚖️ Nermine Kamal echoed this concern from a central bank perspective, warning that “too much control is no longer control”. De-risking, she argued, creates systemic vulnerabilities, whereas a genuine risk-based approach builds proportionality into supervision and keeps financial services accessible. Central banks, in this view, must hold the balance between integrity and inclusion, and continuously update their understanding of how financial crime evolves. 🤲 Lise Salavert closed the panel with a humanitarian perspective, recalling that delivering aid in areas controlled by non-state armed groups is challenging but never impossible. Action contre la Faim invests heavily in compliance mechanisms to navigate a range of international regulations, domestic sanctions, counter-terrorism measures and host-government requirements. She also flagged a worrying trend: the adoption of restrictive NGO laws and the use of “state of emergency” measures that increasingly prevent humanitarian access to populations in need. Closing remarks were delivered by Claire Cheremetinski, Deputy Director General of the French Treasury. 🙏 Thank you to our distinguished guests and to Stephen Reimer, Adjunct Professor at PSIA and Associate Fellow at the Centre for Finance and Security at RUSI who moderated the conversation! #PSIA #SciencesPo #G7 #NoMoneyForTerror #CounterTerrorism

Yet today, as a Director at Nardello & Co., she draws on the same global perspective, analytical thinking, and interdisciplinary training she developed during her time in Paris.
