Occasion – Owner or Artist? A Manifesto for a New Ecology of Being, Gilles Berhault

Rio, 1992. The end of an era, or rather the beginning of another: a global approach for human communities and their territories emerged. This is sustainable development, which brings together environmental protection and "development."

But make no mistake: it was above all a humanist approach, even if it has lost its humanity. It is the environment/culture tension that gives meaning and values; it is what we urgently need to re-enchant! We must agree on a humanity that discovers the capacity to invent and then fully participate in a new world. We are no longer at the stage of awareness or utopian daydreams: the creation of the 21st century is now!
