Program:
Dominique Bourg, Professor at the University of Lausanne, Institute of Geography and Sustainability (IGD), Faculty of Geosciences and Environment. He will present his book Integral Ecology: For a Permacircular Society
Summary:
The global digital transition is accelerating as the ecological transition, at best, is stalling. This situation will not be sustainable for long. It is important to give ourselves as soon as possible a collective goal that corresponds finally to what is required by the state of degradation of the Earth system.
How to reconcile a radically reduced ecological footprint with the current plurality of our societies and their economic fabric? The answer is on the side of a permacircular economy: the strict respect of the planetary limits requires, for the rich countries, circular metabolisms, but also a clear reduction of the material substrate of their activities – thus a decrease – and an opening to the the widest possible technological and social experimentation.
This book proposes a detailed political and ethical framework aimed at progressively building, in the respect of modern pluralism, an authentically sustainable economy.
