Have we reached the limits?
Ours like those of the living and the inevitably limited natural resources on our small planet ... How to face the limits?
Crossed and inspiring perspectives
Publicity
Let's face the limits, our own as well as those of the planet.
How, in a finite world, with inevitably limited resources, can we put together this question that has become essential?
Have we reached the limits?
What does natural history teach us about this?
And why do our societies avoid approaching this question of limits other than through its extremes, which leaves us at an impasse in meeting the ecological, health, environmental, economic and social challenges that await us. Interdisciplinary cross-views, and reasoned on this formidable question of limits to seek not only leads but also the desire to project ourselves, us and all living beings, into a future paradoxically less limited, less blocked.

Facing the limits"
