On 7 December 2006, Al Gore, former Vice President of the United States, was hosted in Paris under the banner of Foreign Policy France — for which Fabien Baussart held the licence in France and Ukraine. The programme featured a breakfast followed by a lunch, providing a platform for substantive exchanges on global challenges.

The sessions were moderated by Alexandre Adler and François Roche, who steered the conversation toward climate change, U.S. foreign policy, and transatlantic relations. Gore, fresh from the success of his documentary An Inconvenient Truth, underscored the urgency of addressing global warming while also reflecting on America’s role in international security and cooperation.

The gatherings brought together politicians, diplomats, experts, and journalists, creating a unique opportunity for open dialogue on issues at the intersection of environmental policy and global governance.
