La Commission des Shadocks Savants (CSS) Par Aurélien Boutaud Plusieurs textes du collectif FAIR mis en ligne sur cette page reflètent une opposition à l’un des indicateurs proposés par la « commission Stiglitz-Sen » (CSS), si toutefois il devait occuper une place prééminente.
Cet indicateur, l’ENA, épargne nette ajustée, supposé refléter le développement durable des Nations, a été inventé par la Banque Mondiale. Il consiste entre autres choses à évaluer en monnaie, pour en faire la somme, non seulement l’évolution du capital économique classique (machines, bâtiments…), mais aussi le « capital humain » assimilé sommairement aux dépenses d’éducation. On en déduit alors les pertes de capital naturel (en fait une faible partie), converties en monnaie de façon acrobatique sur la base de modèles inaccessibles. Si le total de ces additions et soustractions reste positif, le pays est supposé suivre une trajectoire de développement durable.

Diminishing Arctic sea ice Arctic shipping routes open 25 August 2011 Satellite measurements show we are heading for another year of below-average ice cover in the Arctic.
As sea ice melts during the summer months, two major shipping routes have opened in the Arctic Ocean. In 2008 satellites saw that the Northwest Passage and the Northern Sea Route were open simultaneously for the first time since satellite measurements began in the 1970s – and now it has happened again. Climategate. Eccaconf.eu - 1st European Climate Change Adaptation Conference - ECCA. The European Climate Change Adaptation Conference 2013 will bring together scientists and practitioners working on adaptation to the impacts of climate change.
The conference will create a European forum bringing together world-class science, with the aim of fostering a creative dialogue with climate adaptation policy makers and practitioners. The theme of the conference is integrating climate into action. Even under the most optimistic greenhouse gas emission reduction scenario we are facing already a certain level of future climate change. The first impacts of climate change are now observable in Europe and internationally. These impacts create new risks and vulnerabilities, while also generating opportunities for some. The conference is co-sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the European Commission, the City of Hamburg and the University of Hamburg.
