Rapport de conjoncture 2024 de la Commission Interdisciplinaire (CID) 52 Environnement & Société : du Savoir à l'Action du Comité National de la Recherche Scientifique du CNRS

The environmental and societal challenges posed by climate change and the erosion of biodiversity raise the crucial question of our planet's short-term habitability. CID 52 Environments & Society : from knowledge to action develops a collective, interdisciplinary and concerted scientific approach to meet this challenge, by seeking innovative, inclusive methodologies and solutions that respect socio-ecosystems. Given the urgency of the situation, the commission stresses the need for scientists, decision-makers and citizens to work together to produce useful, transformative solutions for adapting societies to global change. These solutions explore social and technological change, as well as nature-based approaches. The report also highlights the importance of sustainable evaluation of solutions, while promoting interdisciplinarity as a response to global crises. CID 52 proposes to rename the commission Socio-ecosystems and the global environmental crisis: issues, knowledge and methodologies for sustainable solutions, better reflecting the integration of this research into public policy for effective and sustainable assimilation and adaptation of human and non-human populations.
