Description
Et si le concept de « durabilité (soutenabilité) » était devenu trop vague pour être efficace ? À l'ère des urgences climatiques et sociales, cet ouvrage entièrement en anglais en propose une exploration critique et multidisciplinaire. Des juristes, des anthropologues, des agronomes, des ingénieurs et des économistes s'interrogent sur sa portée, son utilisation abusive et ses applications concrètes, prises entre idéalisme et opportunisme.
In an age of climate and social emergencies, how should we think about the concept of sustainability ? This interdisciplinary book explores this central question, shedding light on often unexpected pathways toward a just and realistic transition.
Is sustainability still meaningful ? This thought-provoking book explores how the once-transformative concept has been stretched, misused, and reimagined across disciplines. From law to ecology, experts reveal the challenges and potential of redefining sustainability for today’s urgent transitions. A concise, critical, and inspiring read for anyone ready to rethink what it means to build a just and lasting future.
