MoHoTalks #26 – François Gemenne, Chercheur, Expert du GIEC, Politologue et Président d’Ecosphère
Why is ecology dividing us so much? Why are we failing collectively to contain climate change and the destruction of life? What strategies should be developed? These questions are at the heart of François Gemenne’s latest book, Ecology is not a consensus.
On Thursday, 23 March, we received François Gemenne, a Belgian political scientist who specializes in environmental migration and climate change adaptation policies. Former director of the interdisciplinary research program «Earth Policies» at Sciences Po, François Gemenne is an expert on the IPCC and president of Ecosphere, a European think tank dedicated to human rights and the environment.
With him, we have addressed the geopolitics of the environment, and in particular the place of ecology in the concerns of citizens and politicians. There was also discussion of climate protection and biodiversity policies, their effects and contradictions in contemporary society that prevent climate and environmental challenges from becoming a primary concern for some citizens and the political sphere.
