What world will we live in tomorrow? Released on March 22, the book by Audrey Boehly, resident of Montmorency (Val-d’Oise), Last Limits : learn to live in a finite world put different topics on the table.
In 1972, the report scientist Meadows issues an alert. Researchers from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) reveal the dramatic consequences for the future of the planet. For the journalist and militant devoted to the cause environmentalthis report came as a shock.
It has raised real awareness of the magnitude of the ecological challenges. This document has completely changed my vision of things. So I wanted to provide a technical and scientific answer through my book.
A shared concern
It reveals that six planetary boundaries (thresholds not to be crossed in order not to compromise living conditions on Terreeditor’s note) out of nine have been exceeded: climate change, the erosion of biodiversity, the acidification of the oceans, the increase in aerosols in the atmosphere…
In his work, the reader attends the exposure of the consequences and the risks that these planetary limits generate.
Worried about the future of her two daughters and all this news generationthe journalist decides to investigate the prospects for the 21st century.
According to the expert, saving our living conditions on earth stems from many decisions and an awareness of habitants.
I investigate 50 years after the Meadows report, to show where we really are today with these ecological overruns. In order to get out of this impasse, I highlight different ways to change our societal model which, for the moment, does not reflect a positive ecological future.
It reveals a dysfunction of the model of our current society, in particular on the overconsumption or the increase in greenhouse gases.
Accessible solutions
If the book presents the grim reality of the future climaticit also teaches how to act responsibly and respectfully with the resources of the planet, in order to preserve it.
The solutions are multiple. The carbon footprint has doubled over the past ten years, the IPCC report attests. We should reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 5% and review all our consumption. The objective is to reduce the ecological footprint through sobriety, consuming less water, materials and agricultural land.
For the journalist, the success of all these solutions depends on the small individual gestures of everyone.
Critical Interventions
To carry out the investigation, the author surrounded herself with twelve professionals (geologist, agronomist, political scientist…) including the economist Gaël Giraud and the researcher Aurélien Boutaud.
Each sheds light, through different studies, in order to better understand the different issues ecological.
Audrey Boehly hopes that her book will allow readers to become aware of the urgency in the face of the ecological crisis.
