OVERALL THEME/BACKGROUND

These videos are intended to provide keys to understanding the world and transforming it. They are part of a three-part series: Future headlines, a series that proposes paths to a desirable future. From a research perspective, a series that reviews research topics on sustainable development. News from here, a series that looks at transitions through the lens of development projects.

In a complex and ambiguous world, it is necessary to listen, to be stimulated, challenged, and guided to action. By sharing knowledge, experiences and inspiring stories, these videos make us think about the notion of "transition" in the broadest possible sense: evolutions underway, ecological transitions, changes in economic models, innovative behavior and new practices. These series benefit from the expertise of intellectuals, researchers, but also artists, athletes, or practitioners with field experience, a retrospective on the challenges, risks, opportunities, and drivers of change. They are a source of knowledge and inspiration for sustainable development stakeholders.

NEWS FROM THE FUTURE - The issues, the obstacles hindering change, and solutions for inventing transition paths, presented by inspiring individuals from many fields: cognitive sciences, anthropology, sociology, literature, philosophy, ecology and economics, etc. Or how to be inspired to bring about change.

FROM A RESEARCH PERSPECTIVE - Knowledge about the interrelated social, economic, political, and environmental realities that lie at the heart of transitions. How can they be appreciated, shared, and better taken into account so as to work towards a sustainable world? Researchers from developing and developed countries will answer these and other questions.

NEWS FROM HERE - Feedback from development project leaders to improve practices and help them evolve. By exploring the skills they need to succeed in their businesses and the challenges they face, they tell us about their involvement and impact in a complex world.
