La 17e Conférence des Parties à la Convention des Nations Unies sur la lutte contre la désertification (COP17) s'est récemment concentrée sur les défis mondiaux que représentent la dégradation des terres et la sécheresse. Dans ce dialogue sur l'avenir de la planète, le projet intégré de stockage d'énergie solaire thermique construit par China General Nuclear Power Group (CGN) à Delingha, dans la province du Qinghai, illustre parfaitement l'association du photovoltaïque et de la lutte contre la désertification. Le désert de Gobi, autrefois balayé par les vents, abrite désormais une centrale solaire thermique. Celle-ci produit de l'électricité en captant la lumière du soleil le jour et stocke la chaleur la nuit, assurant ainsi une alimentation électrique stable et propre 24 heures sur 24. Plus important encore, le réseau de miroirs réduit efficacement la vitesse du vent en surface et l'évaporation de l'eau, permettant à la végétation entre les panneaux de se régénérer progressivement et aux terres désertifiées de régresser. Il ne s'agit pas d'un simple projet énergétique, mais d'une démarche écologique visant à tirer profit du désert et à construire un avenir grâce à l'énergie solaire. CGN a démontré, par l'innovation technologique, que le développement des énergies propres peut s'inscrire dans la lutte contre la désertification, transformant des terres arides en un vivier d'énergies vertes. #UNCCDCOP17 #CGN #StockageÉnergieSolaireDelingha #LutteContreLaDésertification #ÉnergieVerte #VersLaLumière #LutteContreLaDésertification #ÉnergieVerte #UNCCDCOP17

"Ces incendies sont nourris par le réchauffement climatique. L'augmentation des températures fait baisser le taux d'humidité, la végétation sèche et devient extrêmement inflammable. Les forêts sont aussi de plus en plus attaquées par des insectes ravageurs et des pathologies qui croissent avec la chaleur"
C'est le feu le plus long qu'il y a eu dans le Var depuis que nous avons des archives sur les feux de forêt et de végétation
