The environmental challenges of the 21st century
A transdisciplinary course on the climate challenges under free license, co-created by 2050 and taught at the University of Paris-Dauphine.
2050's world will be very different from the 2020's world. We already know that global warming and the biodiversity crisis will play a major role and it is essential that young people get the right resources to understand the challenges they will face. This is why 2050 co-authored and co-funded a transdisciplinary course on the ecological challenges of the 21st century, designed by Ivar Ekeland, in collaboration with the Fondation Madeleine and Université Paris Dauphine.
This course provides a unique synthesis, making scientific research accessible through relevant disciplines, from physics and biology to economics and philosophy.

A stunning document! A master piece! In order to slow the climate change acceleration, rules need to be established and followed by a large number of humans, especially their leaders as they have to stand like exemples. Those rules should be the base for states to build new standards, next incentives / taxes and then force companies only focusing on KPIs (mainly financial ones) to drive their operations and strategy toward KAIs. Unfortunetely, I so far did not find a company or an organization to work on this purpose: the conversion of KAIs to new standards and new KPIs. Perhaps you could indicate me if this kind of organization or company exists, as I would be glad to work with it. Regards, Pascal VERGINE
