Abstract

"« Voir un lien entre la pollution de l'air, la biodiversité et le covid-19 relève du surréalisme, pas de la science », affirmait Luc Ferry en mars 2020. Voilà un philosophe bien mal informé. Car, depuis les années 2000, des centaines de scientifiques tirent la sonnette d'alarme : les activités humaines, en précipitant l'effondrement de la biodiversité, ont créé les conditions d'une « épidémie de pandémies ». Mobilisant de nombreux travaux et des entretiens inédits avec plus de soixante chercheurs du monde entier, Marie-Monique Robin apporte enfin une vision d'ensemble, accessible à tous. Le constat est sans appel : la destruction des écosystèmes par la déforestation, l'urbanisation, l'agriculture industrielle et la globalisation économique menacent directement la santé planétaire. Et si, plutôt que la course aux vaccins ou le confinement chronique de la population, le seul antidote était la préservation de la biodiversité ?"

Abstract

Proponents of the concept of ecological integrity argue that it is a necessary component of global governance on which the sustainable future of the planet and its inhabitants depends. This book presents the latest research and current thinking on the role of ecological integrity in support of life on Earth and the importance of governance for the common good, or the benefit of all. The book considers whether present forms of governance support the common good, or whether they are endangering its very foundations. It explores the connection between consumerism and capitalism, the destruction of natural resources and with it, the elimination of many of the ecosystem services that support life in general, and human life in particular. Chapters focus on the defence of human rights, and in particular the rights to key resources such as food, water and general health/wellbeing, as well as energy and security. Topics covered include climate change, biodiversity, migration and conflict resolution, with approaches from various perspectives such as politics, ethics, sociology and law. Overall the book provides a stimulating insight into the multifaceted debates surrounding ecological integrity, global governance and sustainability.

Abstract

This book contains some of the papers which were presented at the NATO Science, Environmental Security, Advanced Research Workshop on "Implementing Ecological Integrity: Restoring Regional and Global Environmental and Human Health" held in Budapest from June 26 to July 1, 1999. All papers presented are summarized in the Introduction and, in some cases, shorter versions are published. A mUltidisciplinary core of American and Western European participants had met over the preceeding years to discuss the concept of ecological integrity. The term "ecological integrity" is found in environmental policy documents but, generally, is not defined. It competes with other recent terms, or environmental narratives, such as "ecosystem health" and "sustainable development" and also with older ones such as "conservation". Therefore, it is deemed important not only to sort out the definitions of these concepts but also to find out whether their practical implications differ. Moreover, it was interesting to find out whether participants from Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC) and, more generally, from NATO partner countries would be, first, responsive to this concept and, second, would hold different views of it. This explains the broad, albeit not always consistent, range oftopics which are covered in this book. The core group learned that CEEC and other NATO partners participants were responsive to the concept but that they were less exclusive of human influence.
