The climate is changing, and France is facing a rapid change too. Many effects of global climate change are visible while others remain unclear. In any case, research must be boosted and applications eased. Various communities are tackling the challenge and working hard to improve the diagnosis of past evolution, reduce the uncertainties of projections and assess the impacts, taking advantage of the scenarios provided by climate modelling groups. In parallel, adaptation is underway. The French Ministry for Sustainable Development has elaborated a strategy for adaptation and, more recently, a national plan has been proposed covering a wide range of actions, starting with the monitoring and research of the Earth system and going to the local actors who have to cope with adaptation.
