In a selective history of the evolution of the degrowth movement, his chapter in the Routledge Handbook of Degrowth (2025) offers a collective and subjective reflection revealing tensions between academics, practitioners and activists. Its four co-authors have lived in and with these tensions, analysing practical experiences in the degrowth cooperative Cargonomia (Budapest, Hungary) and the low-tech ecosystem Can Decreix (Cerbère, France). The chapter aims to launch a formal, respectful and significant dialogue between degrowth academics and practitioners. How did an initial public perception of degrowth as activists who experiment-by-doing based in a radical epistemological critique of traditional academia evolve more and more into an academia-dominated movement? We reflect on the movement’s organisation to suggest how deeper collaborative relationships between researchers, activism and practitioners might strengthen degrowth as an academic field, enhance the credibility and robustness of grounded prefigurat

La participation du médiatique expert climat dans des vidéos valorisant les solutions «durables» du groupe industriel français lui vaut d’être accusé de «science washing».

This article examines the technocentric bias that characterizes climate mitigation literature, focusing on the reports of the IPCC's Working Group III. This bias stems from structural features of the scientific field that prioritizes innovation, leading to the overrepresentation of technological solutions in climate research. Funding mechanisms further reinforce this tendency by incentivizing collaboration with industrial R&D, creating a self-reinforcing loop in which scientific authority and industrial interests converge. The IPCC's institutional positioning—as a policy-relevant yet politically cautious body—amplifies this dynamic by favoring allegedly “cost-effective” technological pathways that lack practical feasibility.

Le gouvernement israélien, qui doit donner son feu vert jeudi à l’accord annoncé par le Qatar et les États-Unis, a remercié mercredi les deux présidents américains, dont les équipes ont étroitement collaboré sur le sujet. Cette coopération “rare” à Washington, bénéficie à chacun des deux dirigeants, note la presse américaine.

Nos émissions de gaz à effet de serre ne faiblissent pas, au contraire. Les températures planétaires augmentent inexorablement. On nous annonce que la France doit se préparer à + 4° d'ici la fin du siècle : notre organisation sociale, notre modèle économique et nos modes de vie vont être bouleversés. Nous « adapter » va devenir une nécessité. Mais à quoi, comment, et jusqu'où ?

This full length briefing explains what Non-Economic Loss and Damage (NELD) is, why and how it happens, where it happens, who is most affected, and importantly how it can be addressed. Featuring case studies from both the Global North and South, the brief captures the latest thinking on NELD all in one place whilst acting as an accessible introduction for those new to the topic.

Olie- en gasproducenten kunnen de klimaatschade in ontwikkelingslanden makkelijk compenseren en nog steeds miljardenwinsten overhouden. Dat is een van de bevindingen van een rapport van Oxfam en de Loss and Damage Collaboration.

Loss and damage from climate change is already costing vulnerable communities dearly. These communities have played almost no role in causing the climate crisis, yet they are now paying for it with damaged and destroyed homes and schools, lost crops and livelihoods, and the loss of loved ones.

L'épidémie actuelle de variole du singe constitue une urgence sanitaire mondiale, a déclaré samedi le directeur général de l'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Cette qualification vise à faciliter une réaction internationale coordonnée, son financement et une collaboration internationale sur le partage des vaccins et des traitements.

Une vaste étude observationnelle, impliquant pour l'instant dix pays européens dont la Belgique, a été lancée pour mieux comprendre la variole du singe.
