THINKING SUSTAINABILITY RESEARCH
The Research section of the Thinking Sustainability programme brings together a selection of texts by thinkers and researchers from all over the world – ecologists, philosophers, economists, sociologists, scientists etc.
The Foundation invited them to write on a topic of their choice with the aim of contributing to a better understanding of the many facets of sustainable development.
When I set about choosing the authors who would take part in this project, I had in mind to represent all the continents, to give a voice to emerging voices as well as those already recognised, and to cover a very wide range of themes linked to sustainable development. My aim was to provide food for thought for those who, like me, want to gain a better understanding of the crucial issues facing us. I was also quietly hoping that I could inject a little optimism. I have found this hope not only in the actions undertaken, but above all in the total commitment of each and every contributor. How can you lose faith when there are people driven by an ideal? To change our world for the better, respecting nature and all living beings. The text by Barbara Cassin, a member of the Académie française, which opens this incredibly rich first edition, is a magnificent ode to harmony and balance, values we should all aspire to achieve.
