WORLD WITHOUT END

A graphic novel exhibition to explore climate change and energy challenges through Comic Art

Each year, the Alliance Française Adelaide celebrates World Environment Day on June 5th with an event to raise awareness about climate change and the importance of environmental action.

This year, we are proud to present World Without End, an exhibition inspired by the bestselling graphic novel by Jean-Marc Jancovici and Christophe Blain (Dargaud, 2021). Through a dialogue between the two authors, the comic book explores—with both humour and insight—the major challenges of our time: energy, climate, and humanity’s impact on the environment.


The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on possible solutions for a sustainable future. Covering themes such as low-carbon energy, food, transport, and urban planning, it offers an interactive journey to raise awareness of the challenges of ecological transition.

Come and explore this free public exhibition at the Alliance Française Adelaide from June to August, during  AF opening hours. (Monday to Thursday from 9.00 am to 6.00 pm, Friday from 9.00am to 3.00pm and Saturdays from 9.00am to 12.00pm).

📍 Where: Alliance Française Adelaide
🗓️ When: June to August, during AF opening hours

About The Authors

 Jean-Marc Jancovici is a French engineer, teacher, and lecturer. He is also the inventor of the carbon footprint. He is mainly known for his awareness-raising and popularization campaign on the topics of climate change and energy. Committed to fighting climate change, particularly in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, he advocates for carbon taxation and civilian nuclear energy production. According to him, the model of Western societies is destined for decline because their economic system, dependent on energy primarily from fossil fuels, is not sustainable.

Christophe Blain is a French illustrator primarily known for the comic books "Quai d'Orsay" and "Un monde sans fin." He has had several collaborations throughout his career, but the one that interests us today is the one he did with Jean-Marc Jancovici. Christophe Blain has won the Best Album award at the Angoulême Festival twice. He won it in 2002 for "Les Amériques" (the first volumeof "Isaac le pirate") and in 2013 for "Chroniques diplomatiques" (the second volume of "Quai d'Orsay").
