France's sovereignty in 2050. How is the armaments sector changing?
Committee 6
Back in 2008, in its report Global trends 2025: a Transformed World, the US National Intelligence Council (NIC) warned of the very high probability of a pandemic occurring before 2025, originating in a region of the world with a high human population density marked by promiscuity between humans and animals, such as China. The SARS COV2 or Covid-19 pandemic proved him right.
Europe's defence and strategic autonomy: harmonising NATO and EU capability responses

At the end of the Second World War, when Europe had just experienced six years of major conflict, a new kind of opposition emerged, resulting from the confrontation of two blocs. With the advent of the Cold War came the need and desire to promote collective security and defence for Europe.
Defence players: the role of human capital in national sovereignty
Committee 3
The aim of this report is to determine the role of the human capital of defence players (in the sense of knowledge and skills to be developed) in maintaining or even consolidating national sovereignty, which we have defined as the freedom to decide and the power to act based on a long-term strategy.
Defence for Europe: harmonising the capability response
Committee 1
If we consider Europe as a geographical entity, its collective security rests on the two pillars of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), a politico-military alliance focused on the collective defence of its members, and the European Union (EU), a political and economic partnership that has extended its action to the security of its territory and its populations. In a changing geostrategic and political context (Brexit, the United States' Asian pivot, the global health crisis, etc.), European states have many different perceptions of European defence, especially given their different memberships in different organisations and their different post-World War II histories.

The aggravation of existing stresses, the real risk of France becoming involved in resolving crises linked to climate change, the strain on the State budget and potential price inflation, as well as the possibility of having to intervene on several fronts at the same time, have led the authors of this report to make 10 recommendations relating to the national territory and the conduct of domestic and external operations from a strategic perspective.
How does international governance help to identify, prevent or limit distributional conflicts linked to global warming?
Committee 5-2
While the effects of climate change on safety issues are increasingly being studied, the question of how responsibilities are shared is less so. Yet these distributional conflicts can also be a source of tension.

The impact of a two-degree world on the UN Security Council: what are the issues and strategies for France?
