Lors de leur Réunion à haut niveau de 2020, les membres du Comité d'aide au développement (CAD) de l'OCDE ont énoncé un certain nombre d'engagements et d'aspirations concernant l'alignement de la coopération pour le développement sur les objectifs de lutte contre le changement climatique et de protection de l'environnement fixés dans des accords internationaux. Un an plus tard, ce rapport rend compte des mesures individuelles et collectives prises pour donner une suite concrète aux quatre engagements volontaires formulés dans le Communiqué de la Réunion à haut niveau.

Rising global temperatures, more frequent extreme events, and erratic climate patterns are reshaping cities and livelihoods around the world and increasingly exposing large shares of the global population to unprecedented risks. The Sixth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warns that global warming is expected to reach or exceed 1.5°C on average over the next 20 years, and possibly by the early 2030s, ten years ahead of previous projections. Many ecosystems will shortly reach tipping points resulting in irreversible damage and increasing socio-economic costs.

The Way Things Go contains a mix of poetry, art writing, and life writing about anticipatory grief, or mourning someone or something before it's gone. Each successive chapter in the book decreases in length by exactly one sentence, from a 71-sentence-long opening chapter, to a 70-sentence-long second chapter, to 69 sentences, 68 sentences, and so on down to 1 (a book-length Oulipian "melting snowball"). This shrinking form enacts the book's concerns with loss, climate change, and the passage of time. At the level of its content, however, The Way Things Go is not fatalistic. Its title comes from a cult classic 1987 Fischli and Weiss film, in which objects such as bags of trash, car tires, and oil drums knock into one another in a Rube Goldberg-esque chain reaction. Moving through both personal history (his sister's lupus and heroin addiction, his grandmother's experience as a Holocaust survivor) and more global concerns (the Sixth Mass Extinction, COVID-19, the war in Ukraine), Bury considers the disruptions that occur as "things go," as well as the continuity that remains. The book suggests that recent negotiations between optimism and pessimism with respect to the future reflect people's feelings of vulnerability, particularly people who are used to taking their life's stability for granted, in a world that seems increasingly precarious.

In a context of growing concern about the impacts of climate change and increasing alarmism toward migration phenomena, the possibility of "environmental migration" attracts considerable attention. What are the (in)desired effects of such an encounter? This volume sets out to decolonize the imaginary, seeking to deconstruct privilege (primarily that of the researcher), and use intersectional, decolonial, and feminist lenses to decentralize the image and construct new paradigms about narratives about the nexus between climate change and migration. The goal is to accompany readers to a new concept, that of Panicocene, the age of panic, a time when the two phenomena that characterize the contemporary meet in a unique narrative, an emergency squared that causes stasis and ineptitude. Panicocene thus encapsulates both the state of the art of research conducted in recent years and the starting point for future research. Panicocene, in fact, is also the title of the Marie Curie Global Fellowship project, which investigates the narratives and imaginaries of the nexus between the climate crisis and mobilities, to which the book provides an initial critical reflection.

Psychose ou légitime préoccupation écologique, la question du réchauffement climatique revient à maintes occasions, sans pour autant que l'on sache précisément de quoi il s'agit : augmentation anormale des températures ? risques accrus ou évitables ? conséquence inéluctable de l'effet de serre ? imminence d'un choc climatique majeur ? Robert Kandel offre une présentation scientifique et claire de la situation actuelle, des différents facteurs, des évolutions envisageables et des incertitudes, sans négliger la dimension politique, permettant de comprendre en profondeur ce phénomène physique. Un outil indispensable pour ne pas être exclu de l'un des principaux enjeux du XXIe siècle.
