Résumé:
Design for a living world asks us to think about the products we use -where they come from, how they are made, and the impacts they have on our planet. The Nature Conservancy invited ten designers to create objects from sustainable materials sourced from around the world. Wood, plants, wool, and other organic materials were transformed into intriguing objects.

Résumé:
Le processus planétaire d'urbanisation accélérée sur tous les continents, et en particulier au Sud, s'inscrit dans une globalisation économique et technologique uniformisante dominée par la "pensée unique". Un monde viable et vivable ne peut plus s'accommoder de paysages urbains tels que ceux de l'âge haussmanien, ou ceux de la ville-chantier ou de la ville-machine cassée d'un bout à l'autre. Cette publication fait suite au troisième Sommet des gouverneurs et des maires des grandes villes du monde sur "Le développement urbain durable" tenu à Montréal.

Résumé:
The images in Wahala depict both the places in the world where raw materials are extracted from the earth for profit, and the people who make their homes there. Photographer Robin Hinsch travelled to where the human impact on the planet was particularly visible to confront the viewer with the blunt ecological and human repercussions of the global reliance on fossil fuels.

Résumé:
Accounting for approximately 10% of the land mass of Planet Earth, the Antarctic is a global commons we collectively neglect. Far from being a pristine natural landscape, the continent is a contested territory which conceals resources that might prove irresistible in a world with ever-increasing population growth. The 26 quadrillion tons of ice accumulated on its bedrock, equivalent to around 70% of the fresh water on our planet, represent at once the most significant repository of scientific data available, providing crucial information for future environmental policies, and the greatest menace to global coastal settlements threatened by the rise in sea levels induced by anthropogenic global warming. ''Antarctic Resolution'' advocates the rejection of the pixelated view of Antarctica offered to us by big data companies and urges the construction of a high-resolution image focusing on the continent’s unique geography, unparalleled scientific potential, contemporary geopolitical significance, experimental governance system and its extreme inhabitation model. Only the concerted determination of a transnational network of multidisciplinary polar experts—represented here in the form of authored texts, photographic essays and data-based visual portfolios—could construct such an image and reveal the intricate web of growing economic and strategic interests, tensions and international rivalries, which are enveloped in darkness, as is the continent for six months of the year. Learning from Antarctica’s spirit of cooperation, ''Antarctic Resolution'' aspires to launch a platform, an agency for change, where citizens can undertake a true Antarctic resolution and engage in a unanimous effort—independent of nation—to shape the future of the Antarctic and, in turn, of our planet.
