Changing Minds, Not the Climate: UNESCO Mobilizes to Address the Climate Crisis Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO The climate crisis is the challenge of the century. Scientific reports, including those of UNESCO, one after another describe increasingly pessimistic scenarios. All experts agree on one thing: we are in a race against time. A race to try to reserve our natural habitat in all of its beauty and diversity, to protect our ecosystems and natural resources and to pass them on to future generations. A race to mitigate the destructive effects of climate change and find the most appropriate innovative solutions.The disruptions caused by climate change are already part of our daily lives and trigger social, political, geopolitical and humanitarian upheavals. The climate crisis is not only threatening our ecosystems, it is also undermining fundamental rights, widening inequalities and creating new injustices. That is why ethical imperative must guide our action. Beyond the political and legal agreements essential to preparing for the future, change involves a shift in mindset, a different way of considering the place of humans in nature. This challenge mobilizes all resources, including education, research and creativity. It is an ethical and humanistic commitment. This is UNESCO’s mandate, and it is a matter of urgency. Changeons les esprits, pas le climat: l'UNESCO se mobilise face à la crise climatique Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: UNESCO La crise climatique est le défi du siècle. Les rapports scientifiques, dont ceux de l’UNESCO, se succèdent et dessinent des scénarios de plus en plus pessimistes. Tous les experts s’accordent sur une certitude : une course contre la montre est lancée. Une course pour tenter de préserver notre habitat naturel dans sa beauté et sa diversité, pour protéger nos ecosystèmes, nos ressources naturelles et les transmettre aux générations futures. Une course pour atténuer les effets destructeurs du changement climatique et trouver les solutions innovantes les plus appropriées.Ces dérèglements constituent déjà notre quotidien et provoquent des bouleversements sociaux, politiques, géopolitiques et humanitaires. La crise climatique ne met pas seulement en péril nos écosystèmes : elle ébranle certains droits fondamentaux, creuse des inégalités et crée de nouvelles injustices. C’est pourquoi l’exigence éthique doit orienter notre action. Bien au-delà des accords politiques et juridiques indispensables pour préparer l’avenir, le changement passe par une évolution des mentalités, une manière différente d’envisager la place de l’humain dans la nature. Ce défi mobilise toutes les ressources l’éducation, de la recherche, de la créativité. C’est un engagement éthique et humaniste.Tel est le mandat de l’UNESCO, et l’urgence aujourd’hui.
