6e Rencontre Élisée Reclus : Inaction climatique, une crise de notre civilisation ? CONVERGEONS pour AGIR
Les 5èmes Rencontres Élisée Reclus ont permis de prendre la mesure des urgences, des crises et des problématiques actuelles. L'un des constats récurrents a été l'évidente inaction généralisée. En vertu du slogan "apprendre, comprendre et agir", il est nécessaire de se confronter à la question de l'impuissance citoyenne : bien que des connaissances aient été acquises, il semble qu'une compréhension véritable manque encore, ou que, malgré une compréhension acquise, les moyens d'agir restent flous. C'est pour cette raison que la 6ème Rencontre est proposée, afin de construire ensemble des activités et engagements futurs.
