The philosopher Dominique Bourg will be the guest of honor of this second conference of the Adaptabilis cycle, on the question of the habitability of the planet.

Some consequences of global warming are now irreversible: glaciers are receding and are doomed to disappear, the level of the oceans is rising, the climate is changing and humanity is undeniably responsible. Faced with this clear observation, what are the individual and collective behaviors to adopt to bequeath to future generations a habitable planet?

Some consequences of global warming are now irreversible: glaciers are receding and are doomed to disappear, the level of the oceans is rising, the climate is changing and humanity is undeniably responsible. Faced with this clear observation, what are the individual and collective behaviors to adopt to bequeath to future generations a habitable planet?

The question of habitability invites us to rethink our relationship with the environment in order to meet the conditions necessary for life on Earth. What scenarios can be envisaged for a more desirable future?

Author of numerous works on environmental issues, Dominique Bourg has taught at the Paris Institute of Political Studies and the University of Lausanne (UNIL) and directed the Institute of Territorial Policies and the Human Environment (IPTEH). He was part of the scientific council of the Nicolas Hulot Foundation and of the Coppens Commission, which for four years prepared the Environmental Charter, included in 2005 in the preamble to the French Constitution.
