It is undoubtedly the fight of the century.
The environmental emergency is no longer to be demonstrated today: it is imperative to fight against global warming.
Awareness seems real in our societies, but how to achieve it in a world where the productivist economy is the dominant model?
A world where sacrosanct economic growth often remains the engine of public policy.
We've heard the terms "sustainable development", "carbon offsetting" or even "green economy" for years, but can it really work to save the planet?
In other words, can we reconcile ecology and economy, or do we have to completely change software?
