Our challenges
The climate challenge
The acceleration of climate change, against a background of global warming, is disrupting not only our lifestyles but also natural ecosystems. It results in an increase in extreme weather events, a gradual loss of biodiversity and an overexploitation of resources.
The food challenge
Against a backdrop of depleted resources and soil erosion, one of the major challenges of the century will be to meet the food needs of a population that is steadily and continuously growing. This involves eradicating hunger, addressing food insecurity and meeting the nutritional needs of all in a sustainable and equitable manner
The societal challenge
In a world shaped by globalization, citizens aspire to a more balanced, peaceful, modest, and secure society. Citizens’ concerns focus both on the need to protect the environment, achieve a better work-life balance, and maintain a way of life built on human connections and relationships.
