M FARGE/Jean-François COLONNA/CNRS Photothèque - O    Mathematics have a major role to play in responding to pressing environmental issues, including global warming, species extinctions, extreme natural events, and pollution. O    The CNRS and its partners have formed a new research consortium that weds multidisciplinary expertise to mathematics in the service of the environment. The Institute of Mathematics for Planet Earth (Institut des Mathématiques pour la Planète Terre, IMPT) was officially created on 20 May 2021 by the CNRS; ENS de Lyon; and Clermont Auvergne, Grenoble Alpes, Claude Bernard Lyon 1, and Savoie Mont Blanc Universities. This research consortium will strengthen the collaboration of mathematicians and experts in all dimensions of Earth system science, with the aim of meeting the environmental challenges of today and tomorrow.
