The recognition of both the unity and unicity of the planet Earth has led some scholars to look for its limits, or, more accurately, the boundaries that should be given to human activity in order to prevent socio-ecological collapse, some of them being already exceeded. The course will present the notion of planetary boundaries and give some relevant examples illustrating their interdisciplinary and multi-scale dimensions. It will discuss the gap existing between environmental policy and planetary boundaries issues.

Security and power relations between territories, countries and regions are evolving rapidly due not only to the impacts of environmental degradation and climate change, but also due to the structural transformation of economies that are necessary for the ecological transition. In this context, the role of national states is confirmed by international governance arrangements like the Paris Agreement on climate or Agenda 2030 on Sustainable development. At the same time it is also challenged by a variety of other players as well as by the reality of what links ecosystems, territories and people to one another. This intervention will introduce key questions and critical concepts to understand the reconfiguration of power relations, competition, cooperation and conflicts in a world that is transforming.

Our world’s climate is changing. Public health is being challenged by the emerging issues brought upon by the Anthropocene: respiratory diseases induced by pollution, zoonoses related to biodiversity loss, changing infectious diseases as a results of climate change. By looking at air quality, nutrition, infectious diseases, and human migration, this course will show you how increases in greenhouse gases impact public health.

Encountering several simultaneous risky situations, mankind may have the choice to ease its future … or not.

The oceans play a central role in our societies. Our trade, our food, our biodiversity, our climate, our data rely at one point or another on the oceans. We observe a continuous increase of the maritime trade, and at the same time some countries are willing to change the rules and deny others the right to sail, drill, lay date cables in the waters surrounding their coasts. Hence, oceans are also the new theater of the great power competition as well the stage chosen by regional power to spread their aggressive wings. What are the main trends of the maritime competition? Who are the actors? What are their means? What are the threats? Where international cooperation is working?

As we face large scale environmental disturbances, it is vital for human societies to understand their dependence on nature’s contributions. Over the past few decades, ecology has developed concepts to describe the relationships between human activities and natural processes, raising theoretical and practical issues. Two main concepts and their ethical implications will be presented in this session: “ecosystem services” and “nature-based solutions”.

The Critical Zone is the thin pellicle of the Earth’s surface that hosts life and societies. This is actually the human’s habitat. Named after a recent scientific initiative coming from Earth scientists, the science of the critical zone aims at reconnecting disciplines of experimental and natural sciences and moving forward a more holistic approach. Critical Zone science is place-based and uses networks of instrumented field sites. The natural objects making the critical zone (soils, rivers, aquifers…) are also political entities offering a new perspective on how to invent a more sustainable relationship of humans with to the planet.

Environmental justice is about a fact: throughout the world, the poor suffer disproportionately from the environmental pollutions and destructions produced by society at large, and, more specifically, by the richest and the most powerful, be it nations or individuals. This fact raises normative questions.

We will qualify ordinary environmentalism, the role of civil society and individual and collective mobilizations, more or less informal, said to be environmental in various local political configurations. A first objective is to broaden the understanding of the forms and practices of environmentalism, by shifting the gaze towards mobilizations that are often invisible or invisible, although they have a substantial impact on the urban environment. A second objective is to analyze the role of this environmentalism in a renewal of the territories, as in the transformation of political behavior in these territories. We will examine the way in which these mobilizations contribute to renewing the implementation of local policies, and more broadly, through the swarming of concrete experiments, the understanding of what politics and policies mean.

Asserting that the question of energy is central to the future of our society is obvious to all those who note the strong link between GDP and energy consumption. We can decide to deny this fact but then we have to de-centralise the energy of the physical world and turn it into a purely financial quantity. This is not the objective of this course. In its original definition, energy is the currency that makes it possible to account for the transformations of matter. In this course, following this definition, you will be proposed to explore the concept of energy, both in its historical development and in its disciplinary developments, particularly in physics, biology and economics.

The category of “natural disasters” classically refers to events such as floods, droughts, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, forest fires, etc. Because they were caused by hydrological, meteorological or geophysical phenomena, these risks were for a long time approached from a perspective borrowing from the scientific disciplines dedicated to the study of hydrological, meteorological or geophysical hazards. But recent history has shown that it is no longer possible to adopt this point of view. The challenges of the Anthropocene (population growth, increased interconnectivity of natural and socio-technical systems) reconfigure the way these risks impact our societies and force us to reinvent the modalities of their scientific monitoring and public management.

Diversity is a fundamental property of the living world. It results from the adaptation of organisms to their environment and from various interactions between organisms. It’s a key parameter of the self-maintenance ability of ecosystems. However, biodiversity is in rapid decline, which, in synergy with climate warming, affect the viability of Earth. Biodiversity is also a source of solutions to mitigate and adapt to global changes.
